The Republic of Iraq has awarded a $30.2m contract to Taos Industries of the US for 33,400,938 rounds of non-standard ammunition.
Non-standard ammunition refers to non-Nato standard weapons such as the Soviet calibre 7.62×39 used in AK-47-type assault rifles, which Iraq is replacing with the American 5.56mm M4 carbine.
