"... The good news is that the Soviet missiles may be nearing the end of their lifespan, and aren’t as powerful as their more modern, American counterparts.

Which, of course, might also be in the hands of insurgents, albeit in lesser numbers. The CIA “lost” several hundred Stingers, SA-7s and Blowpipes in the 1980s, and Sweden admitted to inadvertently diverting a few dozen of their MANPADs to Iran in the 1980s, as well.
