I really hope that the U.S. sending these weapons to Ukraine is a clearance on outmoded military technology, not a strategic failure.

The US military recently launched a Stinger replacement effort, has just solicited bids, expects production start in (fiscal year) 2027.

(OTOH, in addition to transfers to Ukraine, it's also ramped up its own Stinger deployment recently specifically in response to the crisis in Ukraine.)
