The cargo ship, which was found after investigation, had been the authorities in the past for drug trafficking when he realized the presence of the port board began to constantly change course.
Eventually the ship stopped and escort personnel of the port led to the port of Symi.
According to information from the MPA, the ship had started from Ukraine with destination Eskenteroum Turkey and reportedly carrying 20,000 guns AK 47 (Kalashnikov).
Also identified some containers, possibly internally be large quantity of explosives.
The ship currently is transported to the port of Rhodes to a thorough check to load.
It is worth noting that there are contradictions in the information for the destination port, and the system marin trafik declared the Syrian port of Tartous, while other electronic system was indicated as the destination Tripoli in Libya, while the master initially told the Eskenteroum Turkey.
For the development of the case is constantly updated with the Minister for the Marine and Aegean Varvitsiotis, while not excluding intraday and official announcement.
Note that the last time the port control have intensified in the east sea border of the country by order of the Minister of Marine, due to geopolitical developments in the eastern Mediterranean.

Generous estimate of $2k/rifle (assuming ammo, spare parts, transport included) gives $40mil but that is just a guess.

Wow and to think we can just run down to the hardware store and buy a WASR ak for the low haggle free price of $750 with no mags.

In some parts of the world an AK goes for less than $50. It likely depends on what else was found in the hold and how hard it would be to obtain.

I'm guessing cost would depend on how much the Russian gov is subsidizing them for mid east wars. Though if I was a port guard they may have only found 19,999 AK's......

On an unrelated note, I placed an order for a large amount of AK's recently and they haven't showed up yet.

I wonder where they could be?

With all the tech nerds out there that manage to come up with an "all new" smart phone every 30 days, is there really no way of making slightly better translation software?!

I think $2k per rifle is a super high estimate. Probably closer to $100 per.

Agreed it is high. Was assuming it included ammo, mags, repair parts, delivery, taxes, bribes. Was guessing at an upper cap on the money someone lost.

They actually can do sell for that high in some nations' black market, where guns are banned for a long time.

What ocean do you need to fish in to catch that many AKs?

I would consider taking some of you guys with me but some of you are down right unlucky with guns and boats.

Our taxes paid for those AKs. Maybe obama can do a "buy back" to get them back and try to get them to their rightful owners again.
