Highly Accurate Surface-to-Air Missile which shocked Russia

Many weapons have been considered game changers, but the term has never been more true than when it was applied to the FIM-92 Stinger. The man-portable air-defense system (MANPADS) is typically used as a surface-to-air missile (SAM). Aside from its effectiveness in targeting low-flying aircraft and the fact its user can take cover or engage a secondary target immediately after firing, the FIM-92 Stinger is appealing to militaries as it only requires a single operator. However, it should be noted standard military procedure requires two operators, the team chief and a gunner.

Most recently, the FIM-92 Stinger has seen use in the 2022 Russian-Ukraine conflict. The missiles were provided by Ukraine’s allies for use against Russian forces.
