Thank you for this video! I have been wondering how to use my Stinger missile, but i have never found a proper tutorial. This video was very helpful though! Can’t wait to try this ❤
Oh yeah. We've all been there. The other day as I was out for a walk and I spotted a badger along the way I was like, "I should've brought my Stinger Missile.' .. I kinda gave up trying to operate it after I attempted to get rid of some rodents encircling my backyard this one time at band camp, but from now on I'll bring my Stinger Missile everywhere I go!
@@rebjorn79 you just never know when you will need your stinger missile, launcher, and battery. Best thing to do is always keep them with you. Super easy once you get used to it.
Indeed; - Who wouldn't want a Stinger Missile at hand in case some pesky door salesmen show up and refuse to take no for an answer, for example. And what about that weird bearded dude who for some strange reason keeps showing up around here like every year at christmas, dressed up in all red at that. Every single freaking year.
@@nucking_futs_yuri my HOA has an ordinance against 16” naval guns for home defense. I suppose Stinger and Javelin systems would be much easier to conceal. 😉

I worked for one of contractors that made the stingers. The tube looks longer then the ones I help make. When I left I knew they were making a longer version with more range. I'm wondering were the launch motor is located. I don't see it.
There's another game called hotdogs horseshoes and hand grenades you could take inspiration from, I'm learning how to use the stinger in that game by watching this video.
Oh man, I wish I'd seen this back in '92 when I was aboard ship resting my feet on cases of Stinger missiles that the missile guys left in our space when they weren't up on deck, lol.
Very effective against helicopters and certain slow moving aircraft. Some lessons learnt from the AIM-9X could be used on the new Stingers under development. 😎🇦🇺👍
I was a Stinger Operator in the Dutch Airforce during the early 90's. You forgot 1 detail (besides super-elevation) you need to lead if the target moves left to right and vice versa.
Thank you! My buddies from the cartel were struggling with their stinger but they told me they found your video and it really helped. Good luck to the Mexican Army helicopters now!

Not that I'm ever going to Stinger anyone - but question - you hit the Uncage button *twice* ? Because it looks to me very much like you hit Uncage Button, then Super-Elevated, then hit the Uncage Button again - needs to be done both before & after? Just curious, thanks!
Thanks very much brother... Good Luck & God Bless over there. Again, I find it unlikely I ever come across one but hey, my Mom was from Poland, and there is a saying - in this case we will call it 'knowledge' - "It Is Better To Have & Not Need, than *Need & Not Have*..." 😝❤💯
It’s amazing what men has invented. I’m no genius by any means but I’d like to think of myself as a fairly intelligent human being and I can’t wrap my mind around how someone went about thinking of all the things to make that work.
That's an IFF antenna, meant for equipment to identify whether the target is friend or foe. That only works if friendly aircraft are equipped with the proper transponder, which is probably not the case given that the friendly aircraft in Ukraine are also former Soviet types.
It's done in generally the same action. You remove it to prevent damage to the electronics. But during training in the US you're not exactly gtfo after shooting. Just remember to remove the BCU after getting to cover.
@@nucking_futs_yuri You sure the BCU isn't removed to prevent the thermal battery inside from expanding the BCU housing and becoming stuck in the well?
So it can fire the instant you insert the coolant, until it runs out 45 seconds later? I was under the impression that it needed that time to cool down first. Making me wonder how useful it really is against jets and missiles. As a target getting noticed, coming in at mach 2. Will likely be far gone 45 seconds later. This would make much more sense!
@@arbu4sek The Stinger is definitely supersonic. However, to be effective, the missile must be considerably faster than the aircraft. It would have trouble trying to hit a Mach 2 target but it could do Mach 1 or 1.25, which are much more realistic at the low altitudes which the Stinger can reach.
question. can a stinger be slaved to radar if an IRST radar is on the weapons system. like the AIM-9 missile. aims can be slaved to radar and i was wondering if other IR missiles like stingers could be as well
It will explode once armed if it comes into contact with something, it doesn’t arm however until after the missle is a safe distance away from the launcher so no a ground strike that results in the missle crashing into the ground will cause the missle to not arm the warhead(also once armed it explodes of it thinks it should have hit its target already but loses lock so like a near miss will become a shrapnel hit)
@@cepv2 i mean, at first it was more helicopters being destroyed but now it seems to mainly be tanks. i can see where hes coming from but i can also see where falsified propaganda may have came, either way shits still getting destroyed
There are two expendable resources which the missile needs to track targets, even if it is not actually fired. One is electrical power (hence battery) and the other is compressed argon, which is used to cool the IR detector inside the missile to make it more sensitive. Argon (and many gasses) gets cold when you allow it to escape from a high pressure container through a small hole. This is because there is some attractive force between the atoms and as they accelerate out through the hole the force between atoms tends to slow down the random component of their motion (while the coordinated linear movement is increased). It's called the Joule-Thomson effect. The Battery/Cooling Unit contains both the battery and the compressed argon. It is not put inside the missile because often when you go to use the missile, you end up not firing it and it would be wasted if the battery and coolant couldn't be easily replaced.
0 unless can be provided otherwise. At least from the Ukrainian side. With the higher tech weapons system that are here, there is a huge level of accountability for them.
That is not a stinger, that is a redeye, which was used before the stinger, I trained on both. The stinger had a antenna on it to identify friend or foe. Bogus video, plus when you trained on the stinger you needed a security clearance you could not give out any information on it.
@jeffsmith691 First off, that is a stinger and not a red eye. The IFF antenna is removable from the gripstock of the stinger. If you're using that and only that to identify the weapon system, then you're wrong. The gripstock of the redeye is more rounded than the stinger, and the BCU sticks out much further, the redeye BCU is longer and thinner then that shorter fatter BCU of the stinger that you see in the video.
This missle can’t reach a high enough altitude to pose a threat to commercial air travel and is meant for low to mid flying jets and attack helicopters

What's the point of taking out the cooling unit right after engagement? Isn't it expended by that point?
The batteries are still live for a while after to prevent damage to the electronics in the gripstock
@@nucking_futs_yuri Are the launchers re-usable?
@@btiller44 the gripstock is the tube, no.... welll its good for bottle rockets😂
@@nucking_futs_yuri So why bother taking the cooling out, why not just drop it and run then?

This would make much more sense!
I believe it's more if a timer before the weapon system overheats, the 45 seconds
you won't hit a plane going mach 2, like missiles are fast but not super sonic fast at least manpads aren't
No ground attack plane is going to be mach 2 in combat zone
According to the manual, there is an ironically named "3 to 5 second warming up period" after the safety is actuated.
@@arbu4sek The Stinger is definitely supersonic. However, to be effective, the missile must be considerably faster than the aircraft. It would have trouble trying to hit a Mach 2 target but it could do Mach 1 or 1.25, which are much more realistic at the low altitudes which the Stinger can reach.

Is this an old stinger or something? Main motor on the rocket should go off almost immediately when firing new systems.
Yes that’s an old trainer model
It is for all intents and purposes it leaves instantly once the trigger is pulled.
