The reason for the gift was that Turkmenistan is to import this particular technology for local manufacturing. The Turkmen leader, prior to recieving the aircraft, had gifted Iran about a thousand tons of wheat as a good neighbourly gesture. I am sure you can't count but in comparison, the wheat would be valued over $500,000.00 far more than the plane which is a prototype. Here is the manufacturer's link:

I am sure this news is much like a thorn in your eye, but for us Iranians, we take much pride in such exchanges that can only further our national interests with our friends and bring prosperity to Iran.

Eat your heart out
