Yes, emphasis on built. How many do you think are still usable

If your cheese is best described as a beverage, you might be Fr*nch.

"You see, only 40,000 javelins have been built. Knowing their weakness, I sent wave after wave of my own men until they ran out of ammo."

This myth that mass-produced cheap and simple weapons always beats technological superiority needs to die.
I'm pretty sure the Soviets had more helicopters than the Mujaheddin had Stinger Missiles. So they can't loose right?

But nearly all of the 40k javelins that are left still work, unlike those thousands of T55s that've been picked over for parts/salvage/theft over the past couple decades while slowly rusting away in damp Russian tank depots.
