Russia has AKs to spare. The number of rifles stockpiled by the Russian ministry of defense is just crazy: 16 million AKs. Russia actually has 17 million but 1 million are in service with the Russian military, according to first deputy defense minister Alexander Sukhorukov. What do you do when you have 16 million extra guns? Naturally, you plan on selling them.
But some aren't in any condition for export. Of the 16 million spare rifles, 6.45 million are worn out. Which is just... how do you wear out over six million AKs? That takes talent. Of the unserviceable rifles, four million are headed to the great gun rack in the sky.
