A kinzhal cost $10 million, a single patriot missile cost around $4-5 million, and a patriot battery cost $1 billion. A video showed 30 patriot missiles being fired, so even if Ukraine’s statement is true and they shot down 6 kinzhals with no damage to anything, that’s still 2-3 times cost difference in Russia’s favor. If Russia did manage to destroy a patriot battery, then that’s around a 20 times cost difference in Russia’s favor if they used 6 kinzhals like Ukraine claims.
