[Slater]

That looks like a good chunk of change. Wonder how much the helicopters actually cost versus all the support equipment/spares?

WASHINGTON, AUG. 3, 2018 - The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to Latvia of four (4) UH-60M Black Hawk Helicopters and related equipment for an estimated cost of $200 million. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale today.
