Kriget har känts för mig som en tabbe rent ekonomiskt. Det är trots allt pengar som vinner krig. Så jag ville se över vad direktkostnaderna för kriget är men får skilda svar:
$3.7 Billion: Estimated Cost of Epic Fury’s First 100 Hours
As Operation Epic Fury—the U.S. military campaign against Iran—entered its sixth day on March 5, both President Donald Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth indicated that the conflict could continue for weeks. Members of Congress, the media, and the public are increasingly asking about the cost of this operation, with a wide range of estimates now being circulated. The first 100 hours (H+100) of the operation are estimated to cost $3.7 billion, or $891.4 million each day. Some of these costs are already budgeted, but most ($3.5 billion) are not. The shift of U.S. forces to less expensive munitions and the steep decline of Iranian drone and missile launches will drive costs down. However, future costs will depend mostly on the intensity of operations and the effectiveness of Iranian retaliation.
‘Operation Epic Fury’ burns an estimated $5.82 billion in just 100 hours
The first 100 hours of “Operation Epic Fury” have cost US forces at least an estimated $5.82 billion, or about 0.69% of the entire 2026 US defense budget, according to data compiled by Anadolu.
Anadolu estimates that the US spent $779 million in the first 24 hours of the operation. As operations have continued, the total operational cost of US offensives has tallied to approximately $3.3 billion, with figures from the Center for Strategic and International Studies showing a similar total.
In addition to operational costs, the US has lost significant military assets in Iran’s retaliatory strikes. According to estimates by Anadolu, the US has already lost roughly $2.52 billion.
Jag har dessutom svårt att hitta vad det kostat för Israel med, vilket jag anser borde räknas in.
En annan intressant frågeställning är kostnaden för Iran. Vilket även det är svår hittat.
Hur bedömer ni förberedelsen inför Epic fury? Var ekonomin och logistiken på plats inför kriget?
