Aca un articulo de los Ruslan de 2005, en donde aparcen cantidades y costes:Delegations of Ukrainian and Russian aircraft builders who participated in the operation at the Le Bourget (France) air salon, have agreed on the resumption of the production of An-124 “Ruslan” heavy cargo airplanes. Ukrainian manufacturers, among whom are the Kiev Aviant and the Zaporozh’e aircraft engine plant Motor Sich, will deliver components for final assembly of the airplanes at the Volga-Dniepr company’s plant in Ul’yanovsk.They are upgrading 50 “Ruslan” at first, then they are organizing series production of the An-124-300 airplane. Realization of the project will cost 6.4 billion dollars, of which 5 billion will be allocated for the manufacture of the An-124-300 with a cost of more than 100 million dollars each.There also was a presentation of the project for upgrade of the airplane at Le Bourget, after which its payload is supposed to be increased to 500 tonnes.But Ukraine won’t pull off this project alone. It is assumed that the Russian Sberbank, Vneshtorgbank and BRB, and also IFC (a unit of the World Bank) will finance it.The ultra-heavy air transportation market in the world is estimated at 500 million dollars a year. As is expected, its volume will triple in the coming years. Therefore, the upgraded “Ruslan” with new engines and European avionics has good chances to received orders for shipping operations. At the least, for the time being there are no alternatives to it, since NATO will begin to build its own airplanes for long-range shipping operations, the A400M, not earlier than 2012.As early as 2003, the defense ministers of the NATO countries preferred the Ukrainian “Ruslan” to the American C-17 for military transport shipping operations. The Boeing corporation has proposed NATO pay for leasing the C-17 airplane with a payload of 77 nearly 496 million dollars a year. But the ANTK Antonov organization department Antonov Airlines has proposed the An-124 for service for only 67 million dollars a year.Saludos</blockquote>
