Original Note:
A S-400 system (battery) costs about $ 200 million (in 2012) and consists of four launchers and accessory radar systems. Ukraine struck a S-400 launcher and probably a radar vehicle on the Crimean peninsula. The launcher is worth around $ 50 million and not $ 1.2 billion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-400_missile_system https://twitter.com/kromark/status/1702306508178907578
