Ukraine (bbabo.net), - The average total cost of missiles fired by Russia for half a day on October 10, according to the Ukrainian version of the American Forbes magazine, reaches 400-700 million dollars. The publication calculated that by the evening of last Monday, 84 cruise missiles and 24 drones were fired at Ukraine (such data were previously provided by the command of the Air Force of Ukraine, which includes air defense formations. - Ed.)

Noting that the attacks were carried out with Kh-101, Kh-555, Caliber, Iskander and Tornado-S missiles, Forbes Ukrainian employees point out that their cost “was calculated on the basis of the assumption that most of the hit missiles are expensive and high-precision X-101 and missiles with tactical range ("Tornado-S"), and the rest were sent to overload the air defense" of Ukraine.

The total cost of all attack drones released on October 10 is several million dollars, the publication reports, thereby hinting at the “unjustifiably” high cost of the latest strikes by the Russian army on Ukraine’s critical infrastructure, primarily on the country’s energy facilities.

Meanwhile, in another publication dated October 10, the same publication indicates that Ukraine plans to stop the export of electricity in the coming days. This was reported to Forbes by a senior official even before Russia launched massive missile strikes on the country's infrastructure.

It is indicated that in September Ukraine earned $ 150 million from electricity exports, while in August - $ 73 million. Electricity ranked fifth in terms of export earnings, behind agricultural products, according to the Ukrainian Ministry of Economy.

Since the start of commercial exports to ENTSO-E (European Network of Electricity Transmission System Operators) in June of this year, the export revenue has been growing monthly. Of this money, the lion's share is received by the state-owned Ukrenergo, which daily sells access to interstate power grids at auctions. From June 30 to October 9, Ukrenergo received 4.9 billion hryvnias. ($133 million) for access to the crossing with Slovakia and Romania.

The Russian army continues to disable Ukraine's critical infrastructure, shifting from massive missile strikes to targeted ones.
