    the wiki on javelins is wrong. 1996 to present for in service date. at least 1993 they were in use. it claims $240k missile only and $249 for the CLU. if you’ve ever held a CLU, your probably wondering where all that money went. that’s a crazy inflation jump from $40k per missile.

      ill have to check my old TRADOC manual. i think it was printed in 1991. i don’t recall if the javelin had a section in that document or not. I’ll look when i get home.

      edit: my IET TRADOC is dated January 1, 1990. there is no mention of the javelin in it. but we did have our hands on a training one somehow.
