A whole AA complex maybe costs that much, so with all the radars, computers, Blablabla, the actual weapon systems, all spread around a big area.

But just because Russia puts a price tag on something does not mean that I care about that price. It's like those fake price tags with 80 % off or whatever random number.

Imagine spending 200 millions in making the world better and not on war

The way the text is wrapped for me it looked like a $200 radar and I didn’t question it.

I thought it said antique and didn't question that, either.

200 Million rubles maybe.

That equates to just 2 million USD. You're not getting any serious radar-equipment for that amount.

200 million is not a very strange figure for an advanced radar-solution.

Now it's just 200M rubble

The ruble is worth a U.S. penny.
