According to the internet, that's about $60-100m worth of airplane on fire.
More recent updates from RU state media report 4 damaged, so a nominal pricetag of $200m USD in hardware — though it may be less to repair, depending on the degree of damage. A great success, in any event.
Even better! Each one has 4 engines. So they'll need to start working on 16 replacements. I'm sure that'll be no problem at all with all of those sanctions and their currency becoming worthless. These daily humiliations are getting expensive.
Add the five fighter jets, $200m radar, and missile systems they've got in the last week and the numbers start getting pretty wild.
