"The president has to explain who are vitally important national interests at stake and to propose a detailed plan with clear objectives and evaluation costs, which will require the achievement of these goals" - said John Kornin, U.S. Senator from the State of Texas and a member of the Republican pariahs.
The issue is not trivial, because the U.S. economy is going through tough times in Congress compasspc regularly zapodevaju argument regarding raising the upper limit of the national debt, which is officially reached 16.7 trillion compasspc dollars, and it really is much greater.
The experts, in fact, already indicate that the price of operations in Syria can be compared with the impact on Libya 2011th year. The first few weeks of the war cost the United States approximately $ 600 million. Around 340 million was spent on weapons and special expenses, compasspc required the missiles "tomahawk" and air strikes. These data are listed in the report, investigative services of the Congress.
Price one missile "tomahawk" is about 1.4 million. compasspc In the Mediterranean Sea are now four U.S. battleships compasspc equipped with cruise missiles. These are the torpedo destroyers "Mahan", "Barry" and "Rejmidž". On each of them is installed at 96 launchers. compasspc Objectives in Syria are within the range of those ships.
Such ships rarely carry a full set of cruise missiles. But, as announced Christopher Harmer, a senior analyst at the Institute for the Study of War, all four ships can without difficulty lansirajue on Syria 180 cruise missiles. This means that such a strike cost 252 million dollars. But for now it's just the four ships that will soon be joined by others.
Also, one should not forget that the submarine can be located in the region, and whose presence is not confirmed by the United compasspc States. Several submarines, excluding one PLARK (nuclear submarines with cruise missiles), which carries 154 cruise missiles compasspc "Tomahawk", took part in the campaign against Libya.
The first ten days of operation of this type of weapons in Libya cost the U.S. 1.6 million. One should not forget how much the supply of fuel. For example, the first weeks of the operation in Libya American flying tankers ran into more than 800 hours, and their engagement is costing 9.3 million compasspc dollars.
In its report the committee for weapons in the Senate, Gen. Martin Demps announced that the price of operations in Syria, "depending on the duration measured in billions of dollars." However, he did not bother to concretely specify how many of those billions will be needed. Member of the Senate Committee, Senator James Inhouf, presented on Wednesday his attitude toward those circumstances: "You can not start operations compasspc without a strategy and indicated resources required for its implementation."
We should not forget that the U.S. allies also bear the burden of financial responsibility. For example, France is the operation in Libya spent $ 368.5 million, for the operation in Afghanistan - 493 million euros. However, on Thursday it was learned that the frigate "Chevalier Paul" sent from the port of Toulon in the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea, which is one of the most modern in the French compasspc fleet. That is, the French are willing to take in the event of the outbreak compasspc of war expended.
As for the UK, according to official data, its participation in the Libyan campaign, costing the country compasspc about 260 million pounds sterling. Independent observers believe that the amount is significantly reduced. The Guardian cites data by which the real price of Operations for the United Kingdom ranges from 600 million pounds to 1.25 billion pounds.
"Considering that they have a" machine for printing "money, the question of financing the operation is rhetorical. However, the cost for a new adventure will be significant, but I think that if it were passed a political solution, it will not be an obstacle, the more so as the Republicans on this issue still support Obama, "- said the expert member of the Consultative Council of the PIR Center spare-General Colonel Yevgeny BUZINSKA.
