    If you consider the price of equipment, food, training, transport etc. it sounds like a bargain to me.

    I mean, the price of an American soldier.

      Yeah, fair point, and add to that the price of training and supplying a Russian troop to kill that American soldier, $200k would be a good deal. But still the local salary is so low I think they could pay less.
