From January 1, 2024 to October 1, the Defense Forces of Ukraine eliminated 10,373 artillery systems of the occupiers. The value of the destroyed equipment is at least USD 8 billion.
This was reported by the Ministry of Defense.
According to the department, the "blackest day" for the russian army was September 22, when, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Ukrainians destroyed 81 artillery systems of the occupiers.
The Ministry of Defense explained that one enemy artillery division has 18 artillery barrels, and an artillery brigade has 72 artillery systems. So, from the beginning of 2024 to October 1, the Defense Forces conditionally destroyed 144 enemy artillery brigades.
"The cost of russian equipment destroyed this year is at least USD 8 billion. This is an approximate figure, which is based on information from open sources and average prices for weapons and military equipment on the world market. Thus, destroyed or disabled without the prospect of recovery enemy self-propelled guns, howitzers and guns are perhaps the most expensive scrap metal in the world," the message emphasizes.
The Ministry of Defense also adds that the occupiers could build 13 modern sports arenas or 18 health care facilities equipped with the best samples of medical and diagnostic equipment for the USD 8 billion that the russian federation spent on artillery systems.
We will remind you that the losses of personnel of the russian troops on October 14 increased by 1,210 to 671,400 people, and Ukrainian defenders destroyed 13 tanks, 44 armored fighting vehicles and 9 artillery systems last year.
