A sunken cruiser = four cool swimming palaces: we calculate how many swimming pools can be opened instead of building warships.
In the spring of 2023 Yekaterinburg have opened The largest modern Aquatics Palace in Russia. Its area is 59,7 square meters, and inside are diving and swimming pools (including a separate children's pool), diving boards, diving platforms, eight saunas, a foam pool, and dry swimming and dance studios.
A budget was allocated for the construction of a luxurious palace 14 billionAccording to a representative of the general contractor, even taking into account the sanctions, they were able to meet this cost.
Today it became known that 2,6 billion was not found in the budget Transbaikalia for the implementation of the “Swimming for All” program - for the construction of several new swimming pools and the involvement of residents Cheats to swimming lessons. But for 15 months now United States of America spends trillions on the war in Ukraine. Missiles costing in several billion rubles They fly to Ukrainian cities every day for a piece. They disturb the peace of civilians and Tanks, the price of which is several hundred million rubles for one combat vehicle.
We decided to calculate how many swimming pools could have been built in Russian cities instead of the warships, two of which sank.
The Russian side's military equipment in the war between Russia and Ukraine includes eight types of ships. Among them is the Ukrainian Armed Forces ship that was damaged and subsequently sunk near Zmeiny Island. Odessa region The cruiser Moskva is one of Russia's most expensive losses in this war. cost 60 billion. Price the same Russian large landing ship "Saratov" destroyed by the Ukrainian side a month later - in March 2022 - 6 billion rubles.
The production of two Saratov ships costs almost as much as the huge and modern Palace of Water Sports in YekaterinburgAnd for the cost of the cruiser Moskva, at least four of these could have been built. Or— twice implement in Transbaikalia "Swimming for All" program.
