Wiki page for Su-57 claims 2.236 billion rubles per aircraft. Which is $23 million USD at current exchange rate.
I guess that price is before invasion of Ukraine when the ruble had double the value.
You have to remember the Russian government owns the MIC, namely UAC/Sukhoi and UEC/Saturn. So those prices have little profit in them.
Compare with F-35 prices which are double the price like $82.5 million USD. And here you have two engines. Part of the reason for the difference in prices is due to lower salaries in Russia and lower cost of living overall. According to the Big Mac index the ruble is like a third the price it should be. That is food prices. Those of us who follow the Russian MIC think for those kind of expenses, i.e. weapons, the ruble is even more undervalued. Compare the price of a Yasen submarine (50 billion rubles i.e. $518 million USD) with a Virginia submarine ($4.3 billion USD with VPM). The Yasen costs an eight the price and is much more capable.

As reported by Algerian television, Algerian Air Force pilots have begun training to fly the Su-57, and Algeria will likely be the first buyer of Russian Su-57 fighters. It is worth noting that Russia has increased its capacity to produce the Su-57. It is likely that the Algerian Air Force will receive a slightly reduced export modification of the Su-57E fighters. Earlier, the head of Rosoboronexport Alexander Mikheyev said that the first foreign contract for the supply of the export version of the Su-57 is being successfully implemented, and the first aircraft will be delivered to the customer as early as 2025.
The electronic warfare comes two times regarding Su-57. It has longest supersonic range, flight duration and best supersonic maneuverability. elements of 6G fighter tested on it. there is alot more info about drones. this consistant with info release years before on Sputnik arabic.
There are 18 AL-55 supplied to India. Indian aviation is too slow to scale up things.
UAC Chief Badeja: Su-57 Will Become Central Element of Combat Systems of the Future
— Is it planned to increase production of Su-57 this year?
— UAC, as part of the Rostec State Corporation, will continue to increase its capacity for serial production of Su-57 aircraft this year. At the same time, last year, deliveries were significantly increased. The fighter has undergone a huge evolution and continues to improve today — the capabilities of the aircraft's weapons and systems are being expanded. The expansion of UAC's production capacity will allow it to increase the volume of fighter deliveries to the troops, as well as actively offer the Su-57 in an export version to foreign customers. We will pay special attention to this area of work together with JSC Rosoboronexport.
— There is much talk now about the technology race against the backdrop of the actual use of military equipment during a special operation. Is it possible to name the main trends and innovations in aircraft manufacturing regarding combat aircraft that were determined by the situation in the SVO zone and that we will see in future advanced aircraft?
For certain reasons, we cannot discuss the main trends in detail: the development of electronic warfare systems, the integration of new aviation weapons, as well as new operating modes for radars and some other systems.
Speaking about the Su-57, I would like to especially note a few more points. The machine is actually used in combat conditions, active electronic warfare and shows itself from the best side. Our aircraft is designed in such a way that its stealth characteristics allow us to destroy enemy targets beyond the capabilities of their weapons.
In addition to the unique subsonic characteristics traditional for Sukhoi aircraft, the Su-57 is the only fifth-generation aircraft equipped with a supersonic low-observable adjustable air intake, which provides the world's best supersonic range, flight duration and supersonic maneuverability.
The Su-57's onboard equipment integrates information into a single tactical situation, and the pilot information support system using elements of artificial intelligence allows the pilot to make decisions in a split second and always emerge victorious in an air battle.

UEC expands cooperation with India in the production of AL-55E aircraft engines
The AL-55E bypass turbojet aircraft engine can also be used for advanced unmanned aerial vehicles for various purposes.
A serviceman with the call sign "Casper" showed how the new Russian T-80BVM tanks of the 10th Guards Tank Regiment are tested at the testing ground. The tank is equipped with factory protection against drones, reinforced with sheets of reinforced rubber.
At least UR-100 is made in Russia, fully. R-36.. might be bit problematic given their Ukrainian origins, but that's where Sarmat would fill.

With regards to Su-57 price tho.. particularly export price. Export customer cannot and should not expect the same price Sukhoi sells to VKS. particularly Su-57 may have different supporting environment compared to earlier Su-27 or 35. Lower than say 90M USD is probably not realistic.

The Russian heavy drone "Berdysh" will be mass-produced. The drone "Berdysh" was developed by the Ural company "Uraldronzavod", which produces FPV drones "Upyr", the drone was created according to the principle: maximum efficiency at minimum cost. We can say that the drone "Berdysh" is an analogue of the so-called drones of the "Baba Yaga" type, these are heavy drones for agricultural purposes used for military purposes. "The Berdysh drone is a modular drone, depending on the tasks, it can be equipped with an updated RPO "Shmel-M", RPG-30 and other combat load. The drone can be used for reconnaissance, cargo delivery or as a communication repeater for FPV drones "Upyr". The price of the drone could not be found, but it is reported that the drone turned out to be cheaper than Chinese agricultural drones. The carrying capacity of the drone "Berdysh" up to 20 kg, flight range up to 25 km.
