While I sincerely hope that this one goes through, the language at both links is tentative, indicating that a "potential sale" has been given the political green light.
The principal contractors will be Bell Helicopter, Textron, Fort Worth, TX; and General Electric Company, Lynn, MA. There are no known offset agreements in connection with this potential sale.
In my brain, the lack of offsets means that either an outright gift, or the old "loan guarantee" will be part of the funding scheme to help Nigeria acquire these fine helicopters.
Here's hoping.
