That's around $1.6M worth of optics.

Assuming the Trijicon MGRS ($4,399.00 commercial price) that's around 364 units. Given a presumably lower price from a bulk order government contract, the lot would probably around the vicinity of 400 units, give or take.

Though they could go for a more affordable (and actually more established) model like the DCL-110 from South Korea and get much more. No idea how much those would go for, though.
