March 14 Massive Strike: Kremlin Spent $439M on Night Terror

March 14 Massive Strike: Kremlin Spent $439M on Night Terror

As expected, pootin’s Friday syndrome returned. Again, the night from Friday to Saturday, Orcs arrange a combined massive strike on Ukraine. The enemy today fired about half a thousand strike means at Ukrainian territory, including 430 strike drones and 68 missiles of various types. The March 14 massive strike became one of the most expensive terror attacks in this war — approximately $439 million spent on ammunition alone.

Timeline of Terror

Starting from 03:05, orcs conducted several series of ballistic launches. Missiles flew from different directions and almost all — at the Сapital.

Approximately at the moment of first ballistic launches on Kyiv, monitoring channels warned that enemy brought Kalibr cruise missile carriers into the Black Sea. Already at 03:42, Ukraine’s Air Force officially reported launches. At 04:13, the first Kalibrs flew into Ukraine through Kherson and Mykolaiv regions.

Besides that, occupiers on the night of March 13-14 lifted Tu-95MS and Tu-160 strategic bombers into the sky. Almost immediately after Kalibr launches, the Air Force confirmed information about cruise missile launches from bombers. In the morning, at 04:25, the first missiles started flying into Ukraine through Sumy region.

Many targets flew precisely at Kyiv and Kyiv region. According to law enforcement, residential buildings, educational institutions, enterprises, and critical infrastructure objects came under strike. Populated areas of Obukhiv and Brovary districts suffered the most destruction. Overall, according to preliminary data, about 30 objects got damaged in four districts of Kyiv region.

Deadly accounting

The enemy clearly decided to deliver a devastating blow, throwing almost seven dozen missiles into this attack. Among them — two quite rare “Zircon” missiles. Looks like pootin finally accepted that his fleet won’t see naval battles, just like he can’t see his own ears. Therefore he gave the command to spend anti-ship missiles on non-profile targets. But other missiles also got spent quite a lot. Here’s how it looks calculated from maximum missile cost value and considering obvious production complications:

Anti-ship “Zircon” — 2/1 at $3 million per piece — $6 million;
Ballistic “Iskander-M” — 13/7 at $5 million per piece — $65 million;
Cruise “Kalibr” — 25/25 at $1.5 million per piece — $37.5 million;
Cruise Kh-101 — 24/24 at $13 million per piece — $312 million;
Guided missiles Kh-69 — 4/1 at $1.5 million per piece — $6 million.

The Drone Component

As follows from the Air Force report, of the total drone number, 250 were Shaheds and their russian clones. Cost of one russian-made specimen — up to $50 thousand. From this calculation, only drones of this type can cost up to $12.5 million. Plus something costs the remaining 150 drones of another type, whose type and cost are unknown, and therefore aren’t counted here. Thus, the Friday syndrome of the bald old man who lost his mind cost approximately $439 million in ammunition only.

All this because the old man really wanted to arrange something like an apocalypse, for which he threw quite a few missiles. In reality, replenishing missile stocks after good birds visited Votkinsk and Bryansk plants gets complicated. But the population of the Rabid Federation needs to be shown the ability to perform something similar despite heavy military-industrial complex losses. Most telling are the launches of Kh-101 and Kalibr cruise missiles. The former carry the most massive warhead and in case of hitting the target — inflict maximum destruction. The Armed Forces haven’t yet found means to intercept precisely aircraft in their launch zone. Taking advantage of this, the enemy still uses its strategic aviation to deliver such strikes, despite burning the resource of ancient aircraft.

Caspian Flotilla Joins the Terror

But even more telling turned out the Kalibr salvo. For the first time in a long while, ships of the Caspian flotilla got involved in launching missiles. Unfortunately, the Air Force report gives no idea what division of the Kalibr missile salvo got conducted between Caspian and Black Sea flotillas. But the sense of this “mix” is clear. Orcs try to hide the pitiful state of Black Sea military steamships by covering their fire capabilities with neighbors’ means.

We know that Ukraine’s Defense Forces already successfully strike naval targets in the Caspian Sea waters. So after this salvo, sailors of this flotilla should prepare for surprises. Moreover, the entire salvo of Kh-101 and Kalibr cruise missiles got intercepted down to the last unit. Simply put, the old führer clearly tried to take a high and victorious note — but something went wrong for him. The March 14 massive strike cost russia $439 million in ammunition, yet air defense intercepted every single Kh-101 and Kalibr. Money burned for nothing.
