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.

'Murica. Fvck yeah, the best team in the world, fvck yeah.

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......
