Cost probably includes helicopters, spare parts, training, and weapons. When you add it up, especially spare parts for 5 or 10 years, the price makes sense.

Price should not exceed more than 125 million dollars unless transfer of technology is included aswell which I don't think so they will do to just sell 4 helicopters.

 

[CHI RULES]

Price should not exceed more than 125 million dollars unless transfer of technology is included aswell which I don't think so they will do to just sell 4 helicopters.
