Ukraine’s drones that attacked Russia‘s strategic fleet cost around $1000 . The SBU said they deployed ~160 drones. So the total cost was -$160000 (not counting trucks, logistics and operatives risking their lives). The effect: billions and billions of dollars lost for Russia.

When Ukraine attacks, the targets are military planes, ammunition depots, or unit headquarters. When Russia attacks, the targets are children with cancer, families, and residential buildings. These are not the same. Russia is a terrorist state.
