Less than $40b USD... wonder what russia's daily expenses not covered by daily income are... their 2025 budget deficit is already $70b...

Money printing and even higher inflation comes next... tick tock

I see him enjoying a car bomb in his near future

They always eat their own in the end, time for Putin's horse to go out to pasture, the good thing is his replacement will likely be less capable.

Good none of those involved should sleep well at night

It will definitely end up being a gaudy monstrosity, the only silver lining is that Trump is probably also lying about the square footage.

MMW it's just another grift, large amount of the funds for the project will be siphoned off to the Trump family, the construction will be shoddy and will have to be corrected on the taxpayer's dime.

Trump will destroy your castle build a shack and then boast about how much better it is.

This is pretty crazy flight skill.

Sure, it's a very cool weapon, but in the end, economics wins the war; everything has to be cost-effective. From what I find the cost is up to $15m per gun and $4K/per shot (cost of up to 8 interceptor drones/per shot)

You did not answer my question, do you know how many mobile cannons are there in the purchase? If it's 50 than that's great, that can probably protect most of Kyiv I can't argue with that.

I understand that but how many launchers does the cost get you? A skyranger launcher has 5-8km range depending on the munition used.
At that cost you can build 150K Shahed interceptor drones and completely saturate defense areas with them.

Hopefully they can strip down this system and massively reduce the cost.

It’s wonderful to cover a critical object, but UA would need a hundred of them around Kyiv to protect the city.

Winter is coming for russia, flamingo strikes on the pumping stations during a hard frost will spell the end to that industry.

Until then then the refineries will continue burning, shortages will get worse.

That’s still less than 50 rockets, they will also build up a reserve before use

Another thing to to consider is that the reported rate of production of 🦩 was 1/day to be scaled to 7/day in October.

It’s unlikely they will have enough of them for a large strike until Nov-Dec anyway.

Though these numbers maybe a description in either direction

It will need to happen during a significant cold snap.

A massive hit on pumping stations in subzero temps can cause oil to and water in the pipes to freeze up irreparably damaging the whole system. Something similar happened to 🇷🇺 oil industry in the 90s it took $100s of b of FDI to rebuild.

With the way their railway loading stats are looking not sure this will help anything
