Okay, the Taliban gets Blackhawk Helicopters but you will be unable to afford ammunition to shoot a piece of paper at you local range.

Have at it.

Not at these prices.

But, yes - 7.62x39 is one of the most common calibers in the world, and 7.62x54 is a beast (x54 used to be really cheap).

Steel-cased Russian ammo is very popular with some.

How about the importation of Russian RD 180 rocket engines which are still being used by ULA (The Lockheed plus Boeing rocket company)?

Yes. Nothing particularly wrong with it if you have an AK.
