So how many should we have in order to avoid "very serious position" that you mention?

EDIT: While seanching for answers i have learned the difference between MANPADS and MANPATS.

Army air defense presented antiaircraft artillery and self-propelled MANPADS MANPADS. Small-caliber guns antiaircraft artillery there are more than 2800 units. Man-portable air defense systems (Stinger, Igla, Red Eye), more than 1.9 million units.
