>Had the Russian Nord Stream pipelines remained operating, this is how much money Russia would have earned to wage the war with them: about $16 billion per year (the number is very approximate).

!! So, $16,220,800,000 means:

* Missiles:
▪ 1,247 Kh-101 cruise missiles ($13 million);
▪ 2,495 Kalibr missiles ($6.5 million);
▪ 5,406 Iskander missiles ($3 million);
▪ 12,976 Oniks missiles ($1.25 million);
▪ 16,220 Kh-22 supersonic missiles ($1 million).

* Drones:
▪ 11,586 MS-237 jet kamikaze drones / Russian version of Shahed-238 (estimated $1.4 million);
▪ 81,105 Iranian Shahed drones ($200,000);
▪ Hundreds of thousands of reconnaissance and decoy drones, used to exhaust air defenses. Their costs vary widely, making precise calculations difficult.

* Military equipment:
▪ 21 flagship cruiser Moskva ships ($750 million);
▪ 32 A-50U long-range radar aircraft ($500 million);
▪ 188 IL-76 transport aircraft ($86 million);
▪ 324 Su-30SM fighter jets ($50 million);
▪ 405 Su-34 fighter-bombers ($40 million);
▪ 506 Su-35 fighter jets ($32 million);
▪ 540 Il-22PP electronic warfare aircraft ($30 million);
▪ 1,013 Ka-52 attack helicopters ($16 million);
▪ 1,013 Ka-50 attack helicopters ($16 million);
▪ 1,158 Pantsir-S1 SAM systems ($14 million);
▪ 3,772 T-90M tanks ($4.3 million for the most modern option).

And that's all for just one year and only from Nord Stream 1.

How much more could Nord Stream 2 have added if it had been operational?..
