According to Military Today, the price is around $5 million each. Bayraktar TB2

This is the first time I have read where they used the drone on a suicide mission. Given the success of this mission, I expect to see more.

The question I would have is why wasn't it shot down?

It was a daytime mission. It flew over a lot of Russian controlled territory before it entered Russian airspace. Surely the refinery would have S-400 coverage.

This is not good news for Russia.
