I don't know if such a setup exists, but I do know that firing a MANPADS SAM takes specific training and you can't just assemble a Stinger and expect to bring down a J-35 Draken (or whatever aircraft). A helicopter pilot, even a long-experienced and skilled CWO4 like Tommy Lee Jones was playing in the movie, couldn't expect to have a lot of success with a MANPADS SAM -- much less the relatively-green scout helo pilot that Sean Young was playing.

(almost) "In the compartment you'll find a gripstock, seeker and launch rail." "A what?" "Thing that looks like a lunch box, thing that looks like a coffee can."
