Sidewinder missile costs 210k400k An

A Sidewinder missile costs $210k-400k. An F22 costs $85K/hr to operate.

The 1200 g weather balloon from High Altitude Science costs $129 and "Although it is more expensive than the Chinese and Indian weather balloons, its quality is far superior."

Just please remember that helium is not a renewable resource, hydrogen is a more responsible gas to use.
