That’s an interesting comment considering the SA-14 entered service in 1974 and the Stinger entered service in 1981.
I’m pretty sure they didn’t reverse engineer something that first appeared 7 years in the future.

I am sorry. The information I used said SA-14 was a copy.

Soviets stole design data and Stinger components from the Greek army and used the information to build the SAM-14 Gremlin, which is said to be a virtual copy of the Stinger
