🇺🇸🇮🇷Another couple of weeks of operations in Iran will cost the US more than a year of the invasion of Iraq, — Newsweek

  • The Pentagon has appealed to Congress to allocate it $200 billion. This figure already exceeds the amount spent annually at the "peak" of the invasion of Iraq, when there were 170,000 military personnel there, and now the US is not even conducting a ground operation.

  • The reason for the huge expenses is modern expensive weapons.

  • At the beginning of the campaign, the US actively used Tomahawk missiles, costing more than $3.5 million each.

  • Earlier, the Times newspaper wrote that American military personnel are using expensive Patriot air defense systems, consuming several missiles for each Iranian drone.
