I can't answer your question in detail, but I read somewhere a few years ago that the Chinese have built a modified Stinger or SAM with longer range than the original. I don't know if this is true, but it's possible. And it's possible that the Arabs could have gotten their hands on one.

Thats a Chinese knockoff of the SA-14 Gremlin missile. Range is 6 KM, and the warhead is about the same.
