And how much is the American taxpayer on the hook for now?
$572 million USD for 30 MI17s ... money wasted ...
Apparently the Afgain Government requested the Russian made helicopters before the Russian invasion of the Ukraine, and naturally the U.S. Government is on the hook for paying for it.
Just as the Russian’s wont supply the Afghan Government with the support they need to keep their Russian Choppers flying. They should have gone American made, and now their entire fleet of 40 choppers has to be replaced with American made UH-60s.
Obama should have vetoed the idea particularly knowing we were on the hook for paying for them.
