According to a television report on April 2, 2015, just eight days after the launch of the aggressive operations, estimates indicate that the kingdom may spend about $ 175 million a month on air strikes against Houthi fighters Yemen, using 100 aircraft.

The channel then noted that the air campaign, which could last more than five months, may cost Riyadh more than one billion US dollars.

Six months after the outbreak of the war, Forbes magazine said the cost of the six months was about $ 725 billion, meaning the monthly cost was $ 120 billion.

Harvard University reported that the cost of the war is up to $ 200 million per day, while the Saudi daily newspaper Al-Riyadh reported that the cost of operating Saudi war planes amounted to $ 230 million per month, including the operation of aircraft and ammunition used and reserve, And the price of all spare parts, maintenance and others.
