Why the US didn't delivered Bell AH-1G Cobras to the South-Vietnamese Air Force VNAF?

How many AH-1G lost the Army in VN?

A total of 1,126 AH-1Gs were ultimately built, with the last delivered in February 1973. About 300 were lost in Vietnam, with about a third of them lost in non-combat-related accidents. Precise numbers of losses are difficult to tally, because in some cases the Cobras were recovered and rebuilt by enterprising ground crew teams.

They probably did not recieve any as they where relativley new and the Army propably didn't wat to divert machines from its own forces.
