An easy place to start cataloguing the cost of a war is in military hardware. We will take a sample from the hard work of @oryxspioenkop each day to begin to show some of the overheads of warfare.

#UkraineRussiaWar #TankOfTheDay

@oryxspioenkop #TankOfTheDay 1. The T-64 tank was famously expensive in its day, costing 143,000 Rubles in 1973 (approx $408k today). This T-64BV was destroyed on 03/16/2022.

💸 Total: $408k

#RussiaUkraineWar

@oryxspioenkop #TankOfTheDay 2. The T-72B is estimated to cost in the region of $2m based on historic Russian exports. Here we have one that was destroyed on 02/26/2022.

💸 Total: $2,408k

#RussiaUkraineWar

@oryxspioenkop #TankOfTheDay 3. Another T-72B tank, destroyed on 03/01/2022. This is clearly marked with the trademark "V" insignia. These cost around $2m each.

#RussiaUkraineWar

@oryxspioenkop #TankOfTheDay 5. Here we have a T-72AV which is a modernized version of the T-72B introduced in 1985. With no reliable cost easily available, we can conservatively estimate a $2m price tag.
