    Geez, $240k for the reusable launcher and $200k per missle, with other similar but less effective missles costing $33k and RPGs (which have 300m range instead of 2500m range and won’t kill the same level of armor) at an astonishing $80 a piece. That’s more surprising to me, $80 is crazy cheap!

    But damn, I wonder how much of the Javelin’s price is actual cost vs being a monopoly.
