Those helicopters (and jet trainers for that matter) would never be worth anywhere near the cost of maintaining them.
So what would it take to get those trucks over here for our civilian market?
I know the physical mechanics of it. But is there an EPA issue, or no import agreement issue here? They look like something we would love to have some fun with, like Penz and Emogs. I know I’d be interested.

One of the posted comments was something like:
aluminum cans and engine parts. But the trucks do look interesting, although parts would be a royal *****. Would need to machine many things.
I finally got around to watching "Lord of War" the other day. Good flick. I imagine he would have sold these if he could have found a buyer. Not surprising he didn't. An African warlord has guys who can operate an AK47 but not many who can maintain helicopters, not to mention access to spare parts.
I just Googled "Viktor Bout," the guy the movie was loosely based on. Cage played him as a semi babe magnet, I don't think the real Bout was in that category but who knows, plenty of women are suckers for money/power.
