    Taiwan: In 2002, Taiwan bought 360 Javelin missiles and 40 launcher units for $39 million. The contract also included training devices, logistics support, associated equipment and training.[38] In 2008, the United States issued a congressional notification for the sale of a further 20 launchers and 182 more missiles.
    United Arab Emirates
    United Kingdom: In January 2003, the UK Ministry of Defence announced that it had decided to procure Javelin for the Light Forces Anti-Tank Guided Weapon System (LFATGWS) requirement. It entered UK service in 2005 replacing the MILAN and Swingfire systems.
    United States: In 2003, the United States General Accounting Office (GAO) reported that the Army could not account for 36 Javelin command launch units totaling approximately $2.8 million. The New York Times later reported supply chain problems at military armories and warehouses in 2004 and expressed concerns of weapons falling into enemy hands.
    Failed bids
    India: India had planned to buy some of the systems off-the-shelf and a much larger number was to be indigenously manufactured under licensed production. But, the plan to go in for the American FGM-148 Javelin ATGMs had "virtually been shelved" because of Washington's reluctance to provide full military knowhow—licensed "transfer of technology (ToT)"—to allow India to indigenously manufacture the "tank killers" in large numbers after an initial off-the-shelf purchase. In September 2013, the U.S. proposed co-development of the next version of the Javelin with India as a way to deepen defense ties between the two countries.In 2014 the United States offered to transfer fourth-generation technology for the missile, an improvement over the previous third generation.[48] However, India chose to buy the Israeli Spike missile in October 2014 instead of the Javelin.

    И в темата за Сирия писах, че системата е на въоръжение от 20тина години не им пречи да доставят на кюрдите от по ранните модификации. По интересно е ако се появи някакъв по модерен китайски ПТУР в по голямо количество.

      Противотанковая ракета Javelin продемонстрировала свою способность поражать цель за пределами заявленной максимальной дальности стрельбы в ходе серии испытаний Армии США. Во время испытаний на авиабазе Эглин ВВС США (шт. Флорида) ракета успешно поразила цели на дальности 4750 м.
