"the missiles"
No, Tom, not "the missiles", as "the missiles" from Afghanistan you're trying to conjure up are Stingers, whereas "the missiles" from the Balkans would have been ex-Yugoslav or Albanian Strela variants.
Completely different things, aren't they?
That's a rhetorical question, Tom - the answer is "Yes", but the ability to arrive at said conclusion requires a mental ability at least on par with a chimp, and you're so far out to lunch that even this most basic of distinctions has escaped your feeble mental grasp.
Lately, you have exhibited extreme gross intellectual incompetence by providing exceptionally deceptive information that is designed to give poorly structured disinformation to those who don't know the truth.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Nice own goal, sport.

Albanian police have seized three shoulder-held anti-aircraft missiles and arrested four people accused of smuggling the weapons from Montenegro and attempting to send them to Macedonia, police said today.
The Yugoslav-made Strela 2M shoulder-fired missiles, akin to U S Stinger missiles, came from the stock of the Yugoslav army and had been bought for 100,000 euros in Bosnia.

Rebels spend drug millions on guns
Arms trade experts who have followed some of the deals say up to 20 SA-18 and SA-7 shoulder-held anti-aircraft missile systems are among the weapons.
The missiles could tip the balance of the dormant conflict in Macedonia by giving rebels the ability to shoot down the Mi-24 Hind helicopter gunships and Sukhoi Su-25 ground attack jets bought from the Ukraine by the Macedonian forces.
