Last I checked stingers have an IFF that prevents them from firing at a NATO or western target.

But panic away.

“Last I checked stingers have an IFF “

The missile does not have an IFF and is not restricted, it is on the launcher and operator initiated. Most of the time it is inoperable.

Do commercial airliners squawk IFF?
