Maybe $1M in cash payments over 25 years and $99M in trade concessions and 'promises' over the same time period amounting to a grand total of about $1M in today's money. What for? airframes, engines, spares, jigs, tools, weapons, support vehicles, instrumentation, test equipment, chocks, etc., all delivered to buyer's location at seller's expense. The still flyable A4s might be useful for target practice.
Cynical? You betcha!
