No, but Iraq is doing a pretty good imitation right now with a "resistence" effort. That type of effort is obviously, effective against a VASTLY superior force. I read it costs the average rebel about $400 to equip himself. Same article stated that the average American soldier about 14K to equip.
Incidently, I have seen video footage of two Afghan guys launch a couple of Black Market Surface to air missles (cost $1000 each) drop two 25m MIG's.
