I'm not too sure, but from what I've heard MANPADS can only really hit airplanes on takeoff or landing. They aren't going to hit them 30,000 feet up, but i'm not a MANPAD expert. Well that's comforting. Don't take off, don't land. Got it!

Having a stupid interventionist foreign policy always has unintended consequences. We are a nation of idiots. Why the hell did we give the Iraqis weapons like the Stingers? I wonder how many other weapons like the Abrams tanks did we give the bastards that will now fall into hands of people we don't want to have the weapons?
Maybe one of these days we will grow up as a nation but don't count on it. |

Why would we give Iraq stingers to fight insurgents?  Exactly-Why the fuck did the Iraqi Army need Stingers in the first place? They don't have any need to shoot down airplanes. Something smells fishy..... Like: OMG The terrorists have our Stingers, we have to invade before they get used in Kansas! |

How long do the batteries last? More than likely indefinitely. If they contain thermal batteries the electrolyte doesn't mix until the heater is ignited, which means there is no decomposition or self discharge common with standard batteries. |

You cannot just pick up a stinger and fire it at an airplane and expect to hit it, certain steps must be followed to acquire a "lock". also there are 3 batteries with each missile
