Not as expensive as buying several aircraft to cover multiple roles. Added to that all the costs of spare parts more pilots ect..ect. A multi purpose aircraft even if the per unit price is expensive can quickly earn it's keep when other factors are taken into account.
Now also keep in mind that Russia makes more economical products which are often pretty damn good. However many countries will not buy from Russia because of their anti social behavior. This is why things like the Ukraine situation really hurt Russia in spite of it's self..
It's one thing to buy AK47's that many countries now produce, however buying expensive military toys requires a bit of stability from the seller.
