The stinger does not use a camera. It has a single pixel that contains two elements, each sensitive to mid wave infrared and near ultraviolet respectively. It uses a scanning technique called the rosette scan, which is an improvement upon the older conical scan and spin scan seekers.
The uncage button unlocks the infrared seeker so it can move inside the head. The seeker is normally locked into place for reliability reasons during shipping and handling. Uncaging allows the seeker to track the target easily without the operator having to manually follow the target very accurately before launch.
Stupid question, if the missile ever misses will it attempt to retry or does it self detonate? Also if it runs out of propellant, what safety measures (if any) for those circumstances are there? Thanks.
@@youtubzer it deosnt retry because it doesn't know where to look for the plane again. Also it can't really tell from other planes once loses its lock. So it detonates shortly after. Once the fuel runs out, the missile still moves for quite some time due to kinetik energy. Once its speed drops below a setpoint, it self detonates.
Actually, the seeker is not physically/statically locked, it is simply an electronic signal that disengages the seeker tracking loop so the operator doesn't have to fight with the seeker trying to lock on anything in sight when targeting. The seeker assembly cannot move without the air bearings being powered by the argon gas, and thus during transport their movement is not a concern.
So in short: insert the battery, open the IIF-antenna, press the IFF button, wait for signal, aim the missile in correct way, push button to release the missile, disengage the safety, press and hold the trigger.. All of this in just couple of seconds as the enemy plane is whizzing away from you. It is absolutely crucial to have proper and throrough training so all of that is done in correct order and no steps are forgotten under the stressfull couple of seconds.
You also have to point it at the sky for a few seconds before you aim it at the target, i forgot why but i saw that during a training video i think it helps it clear the computer before locking something
As with the Redeye system, aircraft identification and range ring profile to judge range play an important role in a successful interception. Making a mistake with either either means a miss or the destruction of a friendly aircraft. As a former MANPADs crewman for over 6 years with both Redeye and Stinger systems, I was kind of cringing that this video went into as much detail as it did in the operation of these systems. MANPADs have always been desired by terrorist groups for obvious reasons.
5:57 For those not aware, most munitions that aren’t artillery or a similar system will have a secondary time fuze that I like to refer as “anti-UXO” fuze. This fuze is set to detonate well past the effective range of the weapon so that the ordinance doesn’t come down and potentially not explode, which is a major problem since it still can explode. This is found also in explosive autocannon rounds, ATGMs, and RPGs.
Actually, the correct word is 'reticle' (as spelled at 9:44), not reticule. However, he neither pronounced 'reticle' nor 'reticule'. He pronounced it as re-tackle (9:44)
Very interesting and useful video! I'm a Stinger operator in the Armed Forces of Ukraine; usually we aim first without BCU (to be sure the target is within the range), then we insert BCU and do launch. Also, IFF is not strongly needed, the Stinger works perfectly even without it. Thanks to United States and European countries who provide Stingers to Ukraine; this is really effective weapon. Sorry for bad English :)
@@markorsrpska7230 They don't actually. I read according to British intelligence, half of the Russian airforce is down and they do not have air superiority.
3:43 This 90 degree turn is impossible to make by the Stinger missile. The missile is lethal because it is fast, it comes from the ground and it is not detectable by any sensors. And if the pilot sees it there are only a few seconds to react before impact.
No, there are several Missile Approach Warning Systems that are able to detect infrared guided missiles. It's also wrong that a stinger always comes from the ground 🤷🏻♂️
@@Bullet_Tooth84 This missile does not radiate any waves, it only tracks waves. How can a system pick up the presence of the missile? Which platform fires the Stinger, not from the ground?
@@bollewillem1 the AH-64 Apache, or the or the OH-58 Kiowa for example. Even drones like the MQ-1 Predator are able to use it. A missile approach warning system can for example detect heat radiation or radar echo of the missile. Even UV sensors can and are used for detection. This technology is of course highly sophisticated and expensive and not used by everybody but it's far from impossible.
3 things missed: 1- The missile flies a target intercept course. It doesn't fly to the aircraft, but where the aircraft will be and it doesn't chase. This is something movies get wrong. Turning means you die quicker. 2- the seeker is stationary until the uncaging button is pressed, then it starts its scanning for the aircraft. 3- The IFF does not identify foes, it only identifies friendly forces with its transponder on. It sends an interrogating signal, it then does 1 of three things. The aircraft transponder will receive the signal and send back the correct response. The IFF on the Stinger will then send the message of positive friendly. If the transponder sends back the incorrect response, the IFF will let the firer know with a "possible friendly" beep/vibration. This happens when the transponder, or the IFF of the Stinger, has the incorrect or out of date crypto installed. If no signal is returned, the "unknown" response is given to the Stinger gunner. The IFF doesn't know what a foe is, it could be a mountain, a tank, or an enemy aircraft, it has no idea because no response to the interrogate signal was received. That can mean a friendly aircraft with the transponder turned off or malfunctioning can be in the sights of the Stinger.
The missile goes where the seeker is looking and does correct. It may not turn 90° but it does track and correct enough to hit target. The seeker locks on to the IR of the aircraft and follows it to impact.
@@Idratherbeonvacation I honestly don't remember the length of time before the BCU runs out. I wouldn't say if I did remember as I don't know if that is classified material.
Thnx for the lesson, had seen some different light rocket motor tubes at work one day, & learned what they were, this was in the mid 80's. We mfg alot of different ordinance steel & aluminum products.
So much work goes into these timeless work of art videos. Would you be interested in doing one for the Switchblade 300 and 600 or The Iranian Shahed? I think MANPADS and Ai controlled loitering munition are the future weapons. Why pay million for a jet or helicopter, when it can be shut down by one cheap missile? Same goes for armored vehicles. They are steel coffins in today's battle field. Love your work.
Future? There are things called EMP, hacking and jamming that will prevent such drones to work properly as well. Sure, it's great tech and it has its uses, but don't exclude fighters, bombers or multirole aircraft or armored vehicles. They will always have a role and be useful.
@@armstronggaming8566 Depends on which frequency they use. Some are easier to crack than others. But it shouldn't be that difficult to copy the controllers bandwidth.
These are scary. My grandpa who was stationed in Afghanistan heard and saw it in action against hinds. According to him pilots feared it greatly in that past conflict.
Thanks for this detailed explanation of how the Stinger missile/MANPADS works! The rotating fins are fascinating. What a fun calculation that must have been to make them work to guide the missile! One thing not covered is how the launch rocket separates from the missile shortly after launch. You said it separates a safe distance away from the person firing, but how/why does it separate? My guess is when the missile rocket ignites, the force from the explosion pushes the now depleted launch rocket out the back? Or is there a mechanism that unlocks the launch rocket from the missile after the missile rocket ignites? Thanks again so much for this clear description and beautiful accompanying graphics!
1:53 The missile has a weight of 100 Newtons and a Mass of 10 kilograms. Weight is the product of mass AND acceleration (gravity). The mass of an object is the same on Earth, floating around weightless in space and on the Moon; whereas, the weight of an object is different at each of these locations. Hence the different units for weight and mass in the offical SI Metric System.
first write a list of goals you are trying to attain when activating the stinger, then write how you see yourself in five years, fill in your daily journal, send your query to your superior, then mail a firing signal to the main office and in two to three days you will receive a response when the missile will self arm and shot within a fraction of a second. The missile houses a little mouse that has been specially trained to steer the missile as it travels at mach 2, it does it through pulling a cable that can only steer left because the mause was too fat for a right cable but it can turn up every time the clock hits a prime number. It is that easy.
MANPADS fascinate me, as they're a cheap, portable, and mobile way of dealing with high-tech expensive aircraft. They could pose a real threat to well equipped air powers against a smaller force.

The seekerhead doesn't have a camera... Unlocking the seeker head is to off-set the launch delay (the launch motor is an explosive which propels the missile from the tube. At the proper distance the propellant motor ignites). This delay is countered by releasing the seekerhead from the set axis. And the operator "leading" the target (aiming in front of the target's trajectory). Another fun fact: The missile flies at mach 2.2 and can out-turn ANY modern plane @ 26G's (pilots can handle ~10G's. Beyond that, pilots blackout/faint/go unconsious) Planes need missile launch detecting equipment to notice a Stinger aproaching. There is no warning that an operator is aiming at a aircraft (it is a passive seeker, which doesn't send a signal). IFF is not used in Ukraine, since Ukraine doesn't use the IFF systems in their Mig29's or SU-25's (Former Stinger Operator in the Dutch Airforce '92-'95, 328Sqn, 3rd Group Guided Weapons).
11:56 This ground-to-ground missile is Tochka-U, decomissioned by Russians but still in use by Ukrs. Maybe some over-zealous Ukr MANPADS operator wanted to get decorated and recieve a reward!
@@kino_61 they were Not an issue at that point. Germany mostly used bf109 and other fw190. Most of me262 were produced in 1944-45. 26 July 1944 one of me262 was used with some effect. It is how if you say that German army had assult rifles in 1942 (technically yes). But practically not ealier than winter 1943 and in a way how we imagine an assult rifle to be depolyed (so every soldier) only in one division and 1944. So conserns about special techinic how to take jets down came later as well. Another modern example is armata tank in russian army: it is there but it isn't a factor.
@@alexeysaphonov232 - I imagine the first time surface-to-air concerns came up was shortly after the first bomb was dropped from a plane. Very shortly after.
Hey man! Can you do a video on how IFF works? Can you interrogate any aircraft for IFF information? Is the aircraft obliged to respond by military standards? If you do interrogate it, then doesn't the plane know your location? Finally, how does the Stinger know if the response is Friend? Does it have a list of friends codes stored? If yes, can't hostile aircraft just respond as what the Friend would respond?
The IFF does not identify foes, it only identifies friendly forces with its transponder on. It sends an interrogating signal, it then does 1 of three things. The aircraft transponder will receive the signal and send back the correct response. The IFF on the Stinger will then send the message of positive friendly to the gunner. If the transponder sends back the incorrect response, the IFF will let the firer know with a "possible friendly" beep/vibration. This happens when the transponder, or the IFF of the Stinger, has the incorrect or out of date crypto installed. If no signal is returned, the "unknown" response is given to the Stinger gunner. The IFF doesn't know what a foe is, it could be a mountain, a tank, or an enemy aircraft, it has no idea because no response to the interrogate signal was received. That can mean a friendly aircraft with the transponder turned off or malfunctioning can be in the sights of the Stinger. If I remember correctly from my training on stingers, the crypto is good for 3 days. I was in the US Army and my first job was a 14R M6 Bradley Linebacker Crewmember. Its a Bradley Fighting Vehicle that replaces the TOW launcher with a Stinger launcher. The vehicle and job were eliminated around 2004-2005. I'm not sure how much info I can go into about the crypto for the Stinger, so that is all I know I can give. We had to get Secret Security clearances to operate the Stinger.
@@natsune09 Thanks for this awesome answer! I have three questions (no sensitive info). 1. When i was in the army, we had to change patrol codes every day. So something like the stinger requires changing the codes every three days? I mean its ok if it was just the stringer, but having to change the crypto codes in every aircraft etc.... This is serious maintenance workload that I did not it existed in the air force (and potentially other vehicles). 2. If the second mode of the stinger is "possibly friendly" even when an incorrect code was given, can't that be exploited by the attacker? Just send in incorrect response (but mimicking the signal that the interrogator sends) - perhaps same modulation, or frequency.... If this is the case, how isn't the second mode of the stinger easily spoofed? 3. My third question is unrelated to the communication, but the actual firing. Is Line of Sight required in order to do the firing? Or you can just scan the skies with the stinger and let the radar detect a potential aircraft? We see so many videos of aircraft launching rockets to the ground, and they are so high that cannot be seen from the ground. Are these targets for the stinger? What about situations where you can hear the aircraft, but human eyes are unable to see it? Can the stinger handle these cases as well?
@@nickst2797 The 3 days is my memory, and maybe wrong. We changed our radios once a week. I always figured 3 days is for the benefit for gunners on the ground, who probably won't be in constant contact to get the correct fill everyday. Most aircraft will have to land everyday, and making sure the correct codes are filled just seemed like regular pre-flight checklist. The enemy needs to know what a close response could be, and I don't know the technical aspects of the code. It may reject everything that isn't a certain number of bits. But those are just what I figure and probably aren't correct. I just shot the thing, a higher pay grade would fill it. The Stinger requires a line of sight to get a lock. The M6 Bradley Linebacker did have slew to cue capability to link with the radar systems (the name is escaping me right now, we never used it anyhow. The MOS that ran the system were 14J). This allowed the M6 to track the target even if it wasn't in its LOS, but allowed it to be on target for when it was in its LOS to quickly allow the Stinger to lock on target. We were told that if the target is too small to see, its too far to be attacked. The unclassified range was 3km. It was meant to be used against rotary wing aircraft mostly, but also low flying and slow aircraft like the Frogfoot and North Korea would use cheap prop planes for deploying paratroopers.
@@natsune09 Remember your COMSEC/OPSEC Back last century our unit changed the codes daily and only the ground crew could do that. Only military/government aircraft will have the IFF mode on their transponders so therefore the correct/incorrect response rather than no response.

Hello from Australia
5:57 For those not aware, most munitions that aren’t artillery or a similar system will have a secondary time fuze that I like to refer as “anti-UXO” fuze. This fuze is set to detonate well past the effective range of the weapon so that the ordinance doesn’t come down and potentially not explode, which is a major problem since it still can explode. This is found also in explosive autocannon rounds, ATGMs, and RPGs.

Heavy shit man
45 seconds to do everything? Damn.
11:56 This ground-to-ground missile is Tochka-U, decomissioned by Russians but still in use by Ukrs. Maybe some over-zealous Ukr MANPADS operator wanted to get decorated and recieve a reward!
Veryyyyyyyyy complexity
9:45 Not sure if it was already mentioned, but reticle is pronounced ret-eh-cull
Didn’t really understand the reticle alignment part, will have to watch again.
Weapon famous for allowing Talibs win.
So you're telling me, you have to perform all those steps in just 45 seconds?
Training plus 45 seconds is a LONG time when you see an aircraft incoming.

Could you explain it in deeper detail to me?
Where to get one and what cost?
this is not for sale . it's used by only military and wartime situation

How fast do those fins change when rotating...
Lots of people in the comments nit picking on very minor imperfections. Fuss budgets.
Most of the stuff he says is wrong.
@@gregorhaines5595 Yes you are corrrect most of what technical details are bullshit.
woah there are quite a few steps there lol

Speed of stinger missile?
why am i even watching this
Awesome video, cooling gas is new infoo for me :) Thank you, have you plan create something about IGLA please?
How did they create a text to speech with clogged sinuses?
The word "Jet" isn't applicable for the fighting aircrafts of all classes before the end of ww2.
Sad ME262, HE162, HE178 and Gloster Meteor noises 😔
@@kino_61 which are the end of ww2. And it is why I didn't say "after".
@@alexeysaphonov232 the HE 178 flew even before the start of ww2 💀
And the Me 262 in 1941
@@kino_61 they were Not an issue at that point. Germany mostly used bf109 and other fw190. Most of me262 were produced in 1944-45. 26 July 1944 one of me262 was used with some effect.
It is how if you say that German army had assult rifles in 1942 (technically yes). But practically not ealier than winter 1943 and in a way how we imagine an assult rifle to be depolyed (so every soldier) only in one division and 1944.
So conserns about special techinic how to take jets down came later as well.
Another modern example is armata tank in russian army: it is there but it isn't a factor.
@@alexeysaphonov232 - I imagine the first time surface-to-air concerns came up was shortly after the first bomb was dropped from a plane. Very shortly after.
Hey man! Can you do a video on how IFF works? Can you interrogate any aircraft for IFF information? Is the aircraft obliged to respond by military standards? If you do interrogate it, then doesn't the plane know your location? Finally, how does the Stinger know if the response is Friend? Does it have a list of friends codes stored? If yes, can't hostile aircraft just respond as what the Friend would respond?
The IFF does not identify foes, it only identifies friendly forces with its transponder on. It sends an interrogating signal, it then does 1 of three things. The aircraft transponder will receive the signal and send back the correct response. The IFF on the Stinger will then send the message of positive friendly to the gunner. If the transponder sends back the incorrect response, the IFF will let the firer know with a "possible friendly" beep/vibration. This happens when the transponder, or the IFF of the Stinger, has the incorrect or out of date crypto installed. If no signal is returned, the "unknown" response is given to the Stinger gunner. The IFF doesn't know what a foe is, it could be a mountain, a tank, or an enemy aircraft, it has no idea because no response to the interrogate signal was received. That can mean a friendly aircraft with the transponder turned off or malfunctioning can be in the sights of the Stinger. If I remember correctly from my training on stingers, the crypto is good for 3 days. I was in the US Army and my first job was a 14R M6 Bradley Linebacker Crewmember. Its a Bradley Fighting Vehicle that replaces the TOW launcher with a Stinger launcher. The vehicle and job were eliminated around 2004-2005. I'm not sure how much info I can go into about the crypto for the Stinger, so that is all I know I can give. We had to get Secret Security clearances to operate the Stinger.
@@natsune09 Thanks for this awesome answer! I have three questions (no sensitive info). 1. When i was in the army, we had to change patrol codes every day. So something like the stinger requires changing the codes every three days? I mean its ok if it was just the stringer, but having to change the crypto codes in every aircraft etc.... This is serious maintenance workload that I did not it existed in the air force (and potentially other vehicles). 2. If the second mode of the stinger is "possibly friendly" even when an incorrect code was given, can't that be exploited by the attacker? Just send in incorrect response (but mimicking the signal that the interrogator sends) - perhaps same modulation, or frequency.... If this is the case, how isn't the second mode of the stinger easily spoofed? 3. My third question is unrelated to the communication, but the actual firing. Is Line of Sight required in order to do the firing? Or you can just scan the skies with the stinger and let the radar detect a potential aircraft? We see so many videos of aircraft launching rockets to the ground, and they are so high that cannot be seen from the ground. Are these targets for the stinger? What about situations where you can hear the aircraft, but human eyes are unable to see it? Can the stinger handle these cases as well?
@@nickst2797 The 3 days is my memory, and maybe wrong. We changed our radios once a week. I always figured 3 days is for the benefit for gunners on the ground, who probably won't be in constant contact to get the correct fill everyday. Most aircraft will have to land everyday, and making sure the correct codes are filled just seemed like regular pre-flight checklist. The enemy needs to know what a close response could be, and I don't know the technical aspects of the code. It may reject everything that isn't a certain number of bits. But those are just what I figure and probably aren't correct. I just shot the thing, a higher pay grade would fill it. The Stinger requires a line of sight to get a lock. The M6 Bradley Linebacker did have slew to cue capability to link with the radar systems (the name is escaping me right now, we never used it anyhow. The MOS that ran the system were 14J). This allowed the M6 to track the target even if it wasn't in its LOS, but allowed it to be on target for when it was in its LOS to quickly allow the Stinger to lock on target. We were told that if the target is too small to see, its too far to be attacked. The unclassified range was 3km. It was meant to be used against rotary wing aircraft mostly, but also low flying and slow aircraft like the Frogfoot and North Korea would use cheap prop planes for deploying paratroopers.
@@natsune09 Remember your COMSEC/OPSEC Back last century our unit changed the codes daily and only the ground crew could do that. Only military/government aircraft will have the IFF mode on their transponders so therefore the correct/incorrect response rather than no response.
Is it possible to operate it by bypassing the IFF system?
i want one
Fark, they use cannon balls? think it's already lost and we all should welcome our new overlords!
the early fighter planes were no "jets". they had propeller motors only.
I wonder which would be the result, if this weapon had an optical recognition system of the target with CV (computer vision system)
Very good video thanks more video continues men ped weapons
Wow its a lot more to it than i thought, they really need to update and make it user friendly. Great piece tho.
