There is a very good article in the current Air Forces Monthly regarding SAMs in Afghanistan. One of the reasons why there have been so few of them, compared to the Soviet days, is because the US have been buying up as many of them as possible that appear on the black market. Apparently 30,000 missiles have been destroyed since 2003.

Very interesting article, and recommended.
