The weapon pictured in the referenced article is neither an FGM-148 launcher with a Javelin missile nor a Swedish AT4. It is an Alliant Techsystems M136 anti-tank weapon, which is similar to the Swedish AT4 but made in the USA. "At present, a new M136 costs $1,480." http://military-today.com/firearms/m136.htm
