Well i guess you cant know everything Just done my homework. A useful link at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIM-92_Stinger

It would seem to suggest though with the number of Ruskies shot down and with the associated number of failures that they do not have many if any left (unless the 'other sources are reliable), Have the US made the accurate numbers of missiles the CIA gave them available ( a yes is as good as anything on this forum). Apologies for ignorance.

p.s look under 'cost'?? Why did the swiss buy 2500 stinger at $126 000 dollars each?? (thought they were Neutral)??
