MANPADS Proliferation Reduction by Design
1 Proliferation Reduction by DesignOn Countermeasures and Kill SwitchesIntroductionIn the 1980s the United States delivered several hundred missiles for Stinger Man-Portable Air Defence Systems ( MANPADS ) to Afghan resistance groups, some members of which later formed the Taliban. After Moscow s withdrawal from Afghanistan in 1989, the US government launched a buy-back programme aimed at recovering the missiles. Despite offering rewards of USD 100,000 or more for each mis-sile, only a few dozen were recovered (Fitchett, 2001).Since then, thousands of MAN-PADS worldwide have been lost, stolen, or diverted from government arsenals. In 2011, anti-government forces looted the Libyan government s massive stocks of MANPADS .
