A single Javelin unit costs about $125,000, and a missile costs about $40,000

It will take 5-7yr more Javelin is gap filler. because currently we using 2nd generation Milan & AT-5. army also have old stock of Milan & AT-4 which is near to end of their life they need urgent replacement army has around 800-1000 AT-4 stock which retire any time that is why they need new ATGM.
