Russian nominal GDP is 1,6 trl$ and GDP PPP is 4trln$---2,5 times bigger----meaning cost of living in Russia is 2,5 times cheaper than in USA.
And here are the dollar prices of military equipment bought by Russian ministry of defense (the price for MoD is cheaper than price for export):
T90C---2,6 mln$
BTR-82A-----0,5 mln$
BMP3--------1,3mln$
Tigr armored car-------140K$
Ka-52 attack helicopter-----15mln$
Msta-S self-propelled howitzer--------------1,5mln$
Kalibr cruise missile-----700K$
new Kilo submarine--------180mln$
new destroyer--------500mln$
^^ These are prices in dollar for Russian ministry of defense
Now, Iran's nominal GDP is 450bln$ and GDP PPP is 1,6trln$----3,55 times bigger--------meaning cost of living in Iran is 3,55 times cheaper than in USA
So Iran is cheaper than Russia, so we can assume that prices of Iranian made military equipment are lower than Russian prices. Based on Russian prices we can estimate rough dollar price of Iranian made military equipment .
Karrar tank--------2mln$
New APC-----0,4mln$
New IFV------1mln$
Raad armored car----120K$
Shahed 216-----------13mln$
Raad 2 self-propelled howitzer----1mln$
Howeyzeh cruise missile-------400K$
Fateh 313 ballistic missile----------1mln$
Iranian 3000ton submarine-------140mln$
Fateh 600 ton submarine------40mln$
7000ton destroyer---------400mln$
(+ add training, maintenance, spare parts, ammunition costs etc.)
Note that Iranian dollar military budget in 2017 was 16bln$
