Spanish term or phrase: millonarias
Would I be correct in using "multi-million dollar exportations of military vehicles"? Or does it refer to the actual number of vehicles (millions???)?

Thanks

Sin embargo, tal como lamentan estas tres organizaciones, ni periodistas ni diputados se han preocupado de pedir explicaciones a los sucesivos Gobiernos españoles por las exportaciones millonarias de vehículos militares a ese país.
