Summary
June data from Ukraine’s DELTA Mission Control system showed roughly $5 in estimated Russian losses for every $1 Ukraine spent on strikes, the Defense Ministry said.
Mission Control logged the economics behind those attacks, putting average engagement costs at $3,032 per Russian servicemember, $2,674 per piece of equipment and $1,487 per infrastructure target.
The platform, launched six months ago, now processes about 50,000 combat missions and more than 230,000 result reports each week, giving commanders feedback on weapon choice, mission depth and Ukrainian equipment losses.
That data-driven approach supports Kyiv’s push to use relatively cheap drones and precision weapons against higher-value Russian targets as battlefield conditions shift.
The report follows signs of mounting Russian strain: Moscow suffered nearly 43,000 battlefield casualties in July, while Ukrainian forces posted their biggest territorial gains in more than a year.
