Boats, anti-aircraft missile complexes and cruiser Moscow: Russia lost more than $900 million on Zmiiniy Island

Russian troops lost more than $915 million worth of equipment on Zmiiniy Island and in the surrounding waters.

The largest loss of the occupying army was the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet, the Moscow missile cruiser, worth $750 million. It took part in the occupation of Zmiiniy, and on April 13 it was destroyed by the Armed Forces of Ukraine and sank a day later.

On the island, at least eight anti-aircraft complexes of the Thor, Armor and Arrow types with a total cost of more than $100 million and four watercraft of various classes with a total cost of about $50 million were destroyed.

On June 17, the Armed Forces of Ukraine liquidated the rescue tug Vasyl Beh, which was launched only six years ago. On board the ship was the Thor air defense system.

In addition, the Russian Federation lost three Pantsyr S1 anti-aircraft missile and gun systems at Zmiiniy.
