Russia's deadly supersonic missiles cost a shocking amount of money

A residential building in Dnipro was bombed by a Kh-22, leaving 46 people dead, including six children.

The missile was fired from the Russian Kursk region. Russia knows that Ukraine has no system to intercept this type of weapon.

Kh-22 missile: This is the cost

The weapon is a long-range anti-ship missile designed to destroy aircraft carriers and aircraft carrier groups on the water. It was built in the Soviet Union. The development started in 1958, and in 1964, the first missiles were delivered.

After that, 3,000 more missile units were developed. Their cost per unit is $1 million, which is equivalent to £813,320 at the current exchange rate.
