I have to say, they are very nice, and interesting.

From someone with a love of aircraft, they are pretty great (Especially that close up of the cockpit), but also interesting in a political sense.
Brazil, part of BRICS, is in conflict with the US on several fronts.
The US is trying to force Brazil to extradite suspects against its will, and there are several other disputes, including Brazil's membership of BRICS.
Now we see Brazil buying Russian made helicopters, something that will really piss of the US.
