Strela 2M, unless I am wrong, is the SA-7, which is more comparable to the old Redeye than the Stinger.
Still bad news for somebody.

Officials said the Strela 2M is the radar-evading weapon used by the Yugoslav army to bring down a U S F-117 stealth fighter in 1999 soon after NATO began bombing Serbia to force its troops out of Kosovo and end repression of ethnic Albanians.

Never led media try to ident equipment! The Strela 2 is the SA-7 GRAIL. This is a man-portable SAM. The missile which brought down the F-117 over Serbia was the SA-3 (GOA). It's like trying to compare a US Redeye SAM with a US HAWK SAM!
