"Russia spent nearly half a billion $US to attack Ukraine on Feb.7"

How'd they do that? I thought they were broke.

We were told by some of America's finest retired generals/talking heads that Russia was broke.

Or maybe the Russians used up everything they had in one final Götterdämmerung before Putin dies. If so, this would be the time for Lithuania to make their move on Kaliningrad.

From BulgarianMilitary.com. February 7:

In the early hours and continuing into the morning of February 7, a staggering 64 aerial projectiles were launched at Ukraine by the Russian military. These attacks consisted of an assortment of missiles and assault drones. Remarkably, Ukraine’s military claims that they were able to destroy a total of 44 of the incoming projectiles. 

This massive assault involved the deployment of 20 Shahed suicide drones and a diverse array of 34 missiles, spanning from the Iskander to the S-300, the Caliber to the X-22, and the Kh-101 / Kh-555 / Kh-55. These projectiles were launched from air, land, and sea sources. According to Ukrainian officials, they successfully intercepted and shot down 44 of these airborne threats with their air defense systems, aviation facilities, and mobile fire squads. 

An informative report from Economic Truth suggests that this single assault on Ukraine carries a staggering price tag exceeding $420 million. These calculations are made by adding up the individual manufacturing costs of each ordnance.

Appr. $423 million
The weapons inventory, as reported by the Ukrainian Air Force, for Russia’s early morning attack on February 7 included: 20 Shahed-136/131 attack UAVs; 29 Kh-101/Kh-555/Kh-55 cruise missiles; 4 Kh-22 cruise missiles; 3 Kalibr cruise missiles; 3 Iskander-M ballistic missiles and 5 S-300 anti-aircraft guided missiles....

....MUCH MORE, someone's been doing some comparison pricing on missiles and rockets.
