212wrench Posted February 15, 2006 Report Posted February 15, 2006 Seems like the aussies are upset about spending $1billion on some Kaman seaprite helicopters that aren't working out. http://www.news.com.au/story/0,10117,18160825-2,00.html We Canadians spent $1.5 billion on helicopters we never even got.

Scribbles Posted February 16, 2006 Report Posted February 16, 2006 "Ordered in 1997, the choppers - which cost $100 million each - are likely to begin full service only next year." ===================================================== One hundred million per helicopter, is that right ? Quote
67november Posted February 16, 2006 Report Posted February 16, 2006 anyone have a pic of these birds? Quote
Scribbles Posted February 16, 2006 Report Posted February 16, 2006 http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/sea_sprite This might give you some idea. Maybe all the weapons, technology and counter measure equipment onboard are indicitive of the cost. Quote
67november Posted February 16, 2006 Report Posted February 16, 2006 even with all that i think the 100 million is a typo Quote
mtnhopper Posted February 16, 2006 Report Posted February 16, 2006 100million dollars Maybe docter Evil is selling them That does seem like alot, Knowing that the Chinook is only 35mil a peice :up: MH Quote
Reddog Posted February 16, 2006 Report Posted February 16, 2006 The 100 Mil probably includes the lifetime maintenance support / agreement. Quote
