Quote: "The cost of one HIMARS system is 4 million dollars. The cost of 50 [such] systems is $200 million + ammunition. The price of achieving fire parity and effectively destroying the logistics of the Russian army is less than the price of one yacht of a Russian oligarch. It's definitely not all the money in the world, but it's something that could completely change the course of this war."
Background:
- According to the UP investigation, two yachts of Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich were found in Turkey, one of which is worth 600 million.
- A US$70 million yacht that belongs to Kostiantyn Zhevago, one of the richest people in Ukraine, was found in Monaco.
