Spending 6000 for just a 110mm is not make sense, either.
I have seen many cases in which Chinese, Russian or Japanese products (eyepieces, binoculars, EQ mounts, just name a few) being transported to western countries and sold twice or even triple of their original prices there. Strange is that people there still consider those are real bargains.
There are also 60mm refractors asking for $1999.
I won't judge products' performance from their prices.
Back to the topic, it is not a surprise that some military scopes tend to show low contrast or yellowish image, as they employ special coating such as Ta2O5, combining with SiO2, to ease the damage of vision caused by laser.

Where are the stars now? Where would I have to go in order to see them?
I walk forth into this fractured world, yet my thoughts were forever of the sky.
