Actually military figures are fine for this expenditure because they are very large per unit, so easy to conceptualize in small integers. It doesn’t matter if you can think about how complicated they are to build or their deterrent role or whatever. Point is you can imagine an aircraft carrier. This is about as expensive as 1.5 aircraft carriers or three bay bridge replacements.
