These are the indicative estimates of Russia’s combat losses as of Sept. 9, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
@freeschool Interesting. I certainly can't and am totally unqualified. However, I'm certain such estimates exist, so please share your findings with us if you will.
COST OF "TOYS" in WAR - LO$$ per "Toy"...
@RobsMuir Ok boosting that post for a start...
People make your own valuation for these estimated losses by #Russia from #Ukraine Armed Forces below!
🛸 #Drones = $29 million (is my valuation - below for calculation):
So per #drone I'd say $1000 (with the upgrades)
as if we were to buy it today as our own #market price and then consider how much it would be different for them to buy it at their cost.
Even our own personal valuation is nice here as a thought to think about... and then minus their 'discount':
So we could say $1000 per drone:
🛸 = $1000 x 57,5704 (#drones / #UAV)
= $57,504,000 / say $58 million 💲 💰
then say half that #cost...
= $29 million
...to pretend we have the #military discount or cost #price that we would have in their shoes....
$29 million only in drones!
OK that was fun... I might do this for the rest during the week and pick one at a time... :)
Readers please add your calculation below!
OK the list so far!
🛸 Drones = $29 millions
✈️ Airplanes = ?
🔫 Missiles = ?
🚛 MLRS = ?
⛑️ Troops = ?
🚢 🛬 🛫 = Warships / big boats
🚁 Helicopters = ?
I'm boosting this as a start and others smarter can get in on this and ahead of the game if they want meantime.
Certainly the visual price put price next to each would be like
"$$$ WOW $$$..." 💰
Have to look up how much a #submarine costs... but I know the battery are well worth all their money !

Let's say the formula is "hell of a lot of thousands each" or "look it up", minus a military discount / bulk-buy cost
= answer per "toy"!
#UAV =Unmanned aerial vehicle

COST OF TOYS in WAR - LO$$ PER "TOY"
