Blert,

Stingers do not recognize IFF, which is encrypted and changed daily. The US supplied stingers’ batteries died long ago, and cannot be easily replaced (even by a US S-4 – batteries are one of the most difficult logistics annoyances). Hell, even Patriots don’t recognize IFF (see gulf war friendly fire).
