The economic efficiency of combat missions carried out by Ukraine's Defense Forces significantly exceeds the enemy's defense spending. In June, every dollar spent on striking adversary targets and forces inflicted nearly five dollars in damages on russia. This is reported by the portal PromPolitInform, citing information from the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, based on data from Mission Control.
Analytical data has been confirmed through the Mission Control module, which operates within the DELTA combat system. This digital tool was implemented six months ago. Currently, the system processes around 50,000 military missions and gathers over 230,000 reports every week.
Recording every operation allows forces to analyze the reasons for success or failure, adjust tactics, and evaluate the financial component of frontline actions. According to estimates, in June, eliminating one russian military serviceman cost the Defense Forces $3,032, while maintaining him costs russia approximately $65,000.
Expenditures on striking equipment and infrastructure
Hitting a piece of enemy military equipment in June cost $2,674, while striking an infrastructure facility cost $1,487. The system factors in the value of the destroyed enemy assets: from hundreds of dollars for communications gear to hundreds of thousands of dollars for air defense systems.
Mission Control also categorizes missions by type — reconnaissance, strike, logistics, evacuation — and by operational depth (specifically 20+ km and 50+ km). This allows commanders to assess the effectiveness of each unit, the cost of its strikes, and the economic damage inflicted on the adversary.
In addition to enemy casualties and equipment damage, the module systematizes data on friendly equipment losses and the circumstances surrounding those events. Over 6,600 hit russian targets are recorded daily in the DELTA combat system.
