So they're buying 218 hulls (without turrets, presumably), guns, and engines. Maybe I'm not reading into it enough, but then don't they have to pay for all the rest of the remanufacturing which includes buying the rest of the turrets, electronics, etc?:
"The Government of Kuwait has requested a possible sale of two hundred eighteen (218) M1A1 Abrams tank hulls with 120mm cannons and two hundred eighteen (218) AGT-1500 (M1 Tank Series) engines in support of its M1A2 tank recapitalization. Also included are transportation and other logistics support. The estimated cost is $29 million. "
