Well, you have to give em that. Beautiful girls & even better sci fi.
Before war begun, was all into Russian Sci Fi movies, something fresh, after Holywoods repetitive formula.
Metro 2033/2034 FTV.
Just now realized that 2035 is out.
Have to get it.
Meanwhile, will send some monies for UA defense ministry.

Let's calculate a bit for a change. How many missiles were sent to destroy the bridge? I think something like 50. The cost per missile is $150,000 (easily found on the Internet). It took a week to restore it with a couple of tons of concrete and metal. That should be well below the cost of one missile. Now, we need more missiles. These missiles will work next time! It is a brilliant tactic! Jesus! Idiots are everywhere.

war is not to save money but to make money
everybody makes money. Only idiots die on both sides
 
Not everybody makes money. Not only idiots die. I am cynical myself but you are way too far in your cynicism. Saying that your point is taken. Somebody certainly printing money making these missiles.

Did you ever calculate how much Russia is paying for the thousands of missiles they send? Or does have Russia free missiles? Estimations are around 1 billion dollar each day for Russia. We will see who can continue to pay the bills, Russia or Ukraine. Because finances will decide who will win.

Less than 10 because Himars are very accurate. 6 were dropped next to each other in 1 line on the bridge.

Russians like to exagerated Ukrainian losses and reduce (or simply deny) Russian losses. Officially Russian lost less than 2,000 soldiers till today. ROFLMAO.

+++ 1:55 p.m .:
According to

Forbes

Ukraine shot down Russian missiles worth $ 91 million on August 2nd.

Russia fired eight Kh-101 missiles at Ukraine.

Seven of them were shot down, including six by anti-aircraft missiles and one by an air force fighter jet, according to the Ukrainian Air Force.

Ukraine's Defense Ministry updates statistics on Ukraine war
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Even taking the $150K a piece for Himars equals $7.5 MM as cost for Ukraine to damage the bridge.
Russia lost $91 MM in one day all for nothing.

Who is the loser?

I was reading last week that the official Russian casualty rate is 1,395 or something like that.

And in that article, the commentator pointed out that that is same number they had at the end of March.

Heh. I am pretty sure the Russians have lost a soldier or two since the end of March.
 
This man bought a series of products on dec,25 in 2021 for 1,565.07 roubles.
On june,25 in 2022 (so 6 months later) he bought exactly the same products for 2,507.82 roubles.
So in 6 months prices went up 60%.
That's how "bad" sanctions work in Russia. And prices are not the same as before.

You can watch the video which is in Russian language, with english subtitles.
