Kinzhal cost $2 million USD per missile and Russia supposedly hit a private home with one. Even Iskander missiles cost about the same. It may be an error in reporting it may have been "standard" cruise missile. But even so for a modern military what a stupid waste of now limited resources.

The low prices that Russia cites for its military equipment is propaganda to push the narrative that they can figh and win wars more effectively than the West. The prices that are listed for their tanks are often the subsidized per unit price of a handful tanks given to some African war lord.
- pydry 4y agoAccording to Ukraine they destroyed a private home. According to Russia one kinzhal vaporized a NATO secret operations base, even killing US officers. Both or neither could be true. In this conflict neither side will even admit to how many of their own troops have died. The fog of war is really thick.
