When a stinger is fired it automatically sends an email to Putin to notify him of a Russian plane lost

FIM-92 Stingers that can easily destroys all ussr russia aircrafts down / all s-100 to s-500 missiles down / all arms weapons down
The older Stinger missiles absolutely made the Russians regret flying in Afghanistan in the 1980's.... now the new Stingers make the Russians regret flying in Ukraine in the 2020's.
That headon shot on the low flying Hinds was epic. All Russian Hind gunship crews are on edge now. 'Stay out!!'
@@georgehunter2813 I still get an evil giggle when I watch that ! =)
Everything old is new again.
I hope the brave Ukrainian soldiers blow a shit ton of Russkie aircraft out the sky with these little Stinger lovelies!
@Matthew Hayslett How's the weather in Russia?
40 some odd years old and still a potent weapon system.
There is always a battle between offense and defense and offense has been winning on many fronts for decades.
The planes there going up against is over 40 years old!
.50 cal browning is 100 years old and barely changed in its design and yet it still kills people . Your point? Just because its old doesnt mean its obsolete.
Just like the RPG-7, developed in 1961.

Ye, imagine what we got in 200-300 years if we havent already destroyed earth by then
That was my job in the Army from 86-91. In Sept. of 91 I was sent to Fort Bliss, TX., to cross train on the Avenger. My MOS went from 16S to 14S.
Hey neighbor! I was in white sands missile range 83-86.
Thanks for your service brother.
I was in Bliss in 1998 as a 14J.
@Putlerbish The Army has been called a lot worse, at least what I heard while in it as a 16D, also at Missile Mecca, Fort Bliss.
These stingers have been shooting down multiple generations of Russian/Soviet helicopters since the 1980's. Hell, there's probably at least 1 or 2 pilots shot down over Ukraine who also had an uncle/grandfather shot down by one over Afghanistan. 😅
Good. Hopefully we fully end their bloodlines.
You know what may become an issue in the future? When the US/West invades another country, i.e. engages in a conflict somewhere, you can bet, that the Russians will supply those fighting against them with stingers, javelins and what not. That will cause an unspeakable amount of suffering and destruction/death among our troops! I don't know if we ever thought about that, but it will most definitely happen! We can see through the conflicts in Yemen, Afghanistan, and Iraq that the Western equipment is not invincible, to the contrary, it gets destroyed. No matter what system, even the Abrams get easily busted in Yemen! There is nothing we can do about it, but to take the casualties and fight through a devastating war… A war that could be much easier to handle, if the enemy would not have the ability to get supplied by the Russians… I am not saying that we ought not supply Ukraine with arms, I don't know what the right decision is, but I wish that we at least have a conversation about it.
I'd imagine the part where new soldiers get to practice using this is probably one of their favorite training days. That just looks so cool and to be able to drop a chopper from so far away just from something you're holding and walking around with..... War really sucks, but some really cool shyit gets made because of it ngl.😅
The haunting stinger, Battlefield 4 made me fear this weapon and seeing it used in today's modern combat my view hasn't changed.
Haha Bf4 is the greatest game I played 👍
bro they nerfed the stingers into the ground. Literally cant target beyond 500m, the jets can just outrun them, and it takes two to kill them.

Used these when I was in the army.
Was attached to Bradley vehicles. We were known as linebackers. At that time we came out the back of bradley with the gunner and team chief each with one on our shoulder. Then Linebacker upgraded to replace the TOW system with a pack like the 14s avengers had on the HUMVEE.
You sound like you are from the time era of a guy I know that was commander of his Bradly platoon. They were late getting there cause they came from Germany and last to get there. TOW's were and still great tank killers if the guy flying it knows what he is doing. Yet they iraq's learned to wait still most of the convey passed and then his the supplies after. Yet that didn't last to long.
I was a 14J till they got rid of that MOS.

Why is that nice? Do you think they wake up every morning with a craving for killing?

Highly effective weapon system at a cost of 38 Grand a pop not bad Raytheon not bad at all and God bless the ukrainians keep on fighting and fighting.
I live in MA where there are multiple Raytheon locations including the world headquarters in Waltham..we've also had other defense contractors located here such as Textron. I've known a few ppl who worked for Raytheon as well...some of the stuff they come up for as defense systems etc are certainly pretty badass. Happy to see those products helping aid those defending their land and freedom in Ukraine.
Javelin is like 400 grand per, however it has anti-tank capabilities.
I was looking for the cost. Thanks. And damn, that's really not a bad cost at all, considering. It's affordable enough to train soldiers on how to use them. They sell themselves to countries that want to buy them, although I'm sure we give them away plenty cuz Murica. And they're seemingly pretty reliable. Small enough to transport a few in your car. Light enough for females to operate.
While $38k is affordable for what the weapon does/can do, I'm realizing who really wins the war. Raytheon, plane makers and others in their position

I hope our military analysts have been able to gather good data on the effectiveness of our weapons against Russian materiel in Ukraine.
Dream on it
Why? Russian military and their weapons are junk. its like Russia hasn't advanced since the 1980s
Those are worthless data anyway because the only reason why Putin adopted this strategy is because he doesn't want to annihilate Ukrainian people because ultimately he sees them as Russians whether or not Ukrainians are agree with that statement whereas Putin doesn't give a F about the United States thus he surely won't mind unleashing his deadliest bioweapons upon your @zzes and based on how clueless and undisciplined U.S. citizens have poorly performed during the pandemic trust me having to deal with deadly biological warfare is the last thing you want I'm just sayin...
@@Len1977gt That’s a very good point you brought up there but unfortunately a lot of people does not know that and think that their military capabilities are that of the same of the United States.

This thing was the nuts in MW2. No Heli, Jet or AC was safe if a player had a Stinger.
The soldiers who operate equipment should believe they’re on the right side. Most of the Russian soldiers don’t believe Putin is right and this affects their performance a lot
Of course Putin is NOT right , he is completely WRONG
Yeah. Their hearts don’t seem to be in this fight.
It isn't the concern of a soldier to worry over politics, they are to their job to the best of their ability. Job duty number One, KILL! Of course maintaining a level of ignorance was a lot easier just two decades ago. Remember, ignorance is bliss! The less you knw what is going on, the fewer the responsibilities and you can just focus on what your orders are.
2:50 modern-day version of the Mario Brothers Duck Hunt, but with a Stinger Missile.
Now I want a Stinger!
Just wait until the Stinger P(ee)
Actually @US Military News used in this material live footage from Ukraine of Polish PZPR Piorun - 0:33 1:36 and 7:01 - naughty ones.
As well they forgot to tell that at the moment US Army is being testing mentioned Manpad - footage from tests - 6:40.
Stinger is usable up to 4000m, yes. But it's lowest altitude to engage the target is 200m. That why US Army is seeking for replacement.
I would also like to add that it is really good for the Stinger missile to protect a small part of the airspace with its own Soldiers, civilians or something so-called valuable. Sensory-based air surveillance complements radar air surveillance, but in a CRISIS situation, you can use just a stinger by only visual hearing aid for air surveillance tasks, if no radar is available. "Call the air traffic controller to see what's up". 💛 💙
what. this needs a clarity edit
"Sensory-based air surveillance complements radar air surveillance"... what a sentence... 🤣🤭🤦♂
Experts say that that Hind was hit by Polish Piorun, as the Stinger has significantly higher minimum altitude.
The Stinger is an IR missile. It just cares about heat. A radar guided missile will care about clutter such as a flock of birds or trees moving in the wind.
@@orlock20 I am not clear what your point is. IR missiles still have operational limits. This is confirmed btw that that hind was taken down by Piorun.
@@tomcspa9458 They have safety limits so the missile doesn't blow up the operator, but there are even IR missiles that can go after ground targets. For instance, a Sidewinder launched by an American jet locked onto and hit a Turkish destroyer.
@@orlock20 Do you understand the concept of minimum and maximum altitude, minimum and maximum range?
@@tomcspa9458 What if the operator is on a hill, and the target is flying below the operator, in a valley..?
I can give a hint. it will work. as long as the IR or UV signature, coming from the target is powerful enough.
minimum range = yes
minimum altitude = no

OH THATS AN IFF ANTENNA! I was always wondering why it was shaped liked that..... and glad that exists...
My uncle worked at Raytheon for many years on FLIR and also missile guidance. No idea anything else but cool stuff. His son worked on tank fire suppression systems and then installing underwater Nuclear blast detonation detection across the world. (I think that wa a diff. company though). Wish I’d gone engineering route.
Hi Peter. I hear you. My personal definition of cool stuff is it's all the stuff "no-one" knows about. I was physics but I did think about electrical engineering later. No matter. It's all fun. I've used Raytheon equipment but only civilian apps. Great gear. Peace.
Not worth having the blood on your hands, honestly. Raytheon is one of the most crooked corporations on the planet.
Such a wonder weapon 😮 and the upgraded software and hardwares are more accurate and lethal
Russian: Float like a Butterfly 🦋
Ukrainian: Sting like a Bee 🐝
Can someone please tell me if a stinger is a one shot throw away or if it can be reloaded with another missle?
I like the fact it's got a basket on it. In case you didn't need a shopping kart
Mach 2.5? Wow, the rocket equation as we all learned in diff eq physics is very potent... as the mass decreases as the fuel is burned, the missile goes even faster, f = d(mv) / dt = dm/dt*v + m*a, where a = dv/dt = acceleration.
Hey! What do you think this is, rocket science? ;-)
I remember when I was in the Marines this was just replacing the Redeyes System in the military as a better Air Defense System.
Dang you could flip burgers on BBQ call your girl and shoot down a twenty million dollar helicopter from two miles away .
Stinger needs range increase. The 4800 (ideal) meters is very good however based on my experience it needs to be doubled without putting too much weight on it. Go Raytheon!
Seems to work great in Ukraine :) Good product.
I'd bet Stinger production is full tilt right now.
Stop making them in 2003
My man holding his shoulder while firing... I got u bro. 😁😁😁
Great vid, thanks for the info!!!
damn everybody here is a warfare expert who has extreme knowledge on anti air weapons
Not me. Do not know anything except they are feared. Must be good.
They've been around since the 1980s. It's an extremely easy to operate weapon system. Quite a few in every branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, were taught to operate them over the last 50 years.
One of the best MANPADs, look how well it's doing on Russia. They Russians finally can't claim "export model" and all their other excuses. Imagine Putler trying this 10,000 miles away... His logistics are so bad hw probably would forget to fuel up the ships.

"Speak American Kowalski"
It's like that little rock David hit Goliath in the forehead with.. or so the story goes.
I just can't help but laugh a little that each time those soldiers launch one missile, it is nearly equivalent to their entire yearly salary...
The Stinger is remarkably inexpensive at $38K per shot, when compared with the Javelin though. Different tools for different problems; the Stinger won't penetrate the armor of modern tanks, and thus needs a shaped charge and higher velocity along with a more sophisticated fuse. It has a "pre-charge" to set off any reactive armor before the main charge goes off, thus defeating reactive armor.
@@simplywonderful449 I'm not questioning it's effectiveness. It's just messed up that these kids in the army are literally exploding most people's yearly salaries in a few seconds just for practice...
? after firing they seem to pull a round object from the bottom of the unit is this a compressed gas canister ?
i would like to know, are these lunchers have to be go trough a maintenance after every shot or you can reload and shoot again?
To anyone who has ever fired a stinger:
Do You feel the heat when the rocket ignites?
What does the smoke taste like? 🤔
It looks like the smoke from the rocket reaches the launcher.
I'd also like to know the answers to your questions.
It tastes like victory! :)
The heat feels like when opening the oven to get the baked cookies out. And the smoke tastes like salt and sea water.
Black cherry.
I find it unlikely that that heli was downed by a Stinger, to big of an explosion and to slow missile. So larger charge and slower missile, most likely a Stugna-P or a Strela-10.
Unlikely considering the quantity of Stingers the Ukrainians. The difference is too little to determine support the claim that a different launcher was used.
Who knows though. As far as I know the newer one‘s pack a bigger punch. That‘s the end of my expertise and to be honest without looking it up rn my best source is „trust me bro“
A company I used to work at mfg the rocket motor case, an upgraded Redeye rocket system but similar motor case. Very lightweight and warhead charge enough to foul a turbine or control on an aircraft with kinetic punch. The traciking/ homing component are the main thing that does the trick. Gonna Wikipedia more info, but seen raw material that becomes the casings among other products the Co.mfg all those years ago.
Proximity fuses were on Stingers in the 80's
I see you got the drone shot from Ukraine in there. Fast work! Why do they remove the part from the bottom after firing and throw them away real fast? Is there a chance it could blow up or something?
That's the pressure missile ejection system for a soft launch. One can per launch.
@@StormyDog Cool thanks. But why do they immediately pull it and throw it 10-15 feet away? Is there any risk of harm? Like starting at around 8:39 you see it repeatedly.
It is extremely hot after launch, and if the don't remove it quickly you will damage the launcher.
@@moguaiato5583 thanks!
Great question I wonder same thing
What are they unthreading from the front and throwing after shooting it? Seems some guys forget to do it and the guy watching them either reminds them to do it or does it for them.
its a battery cooling unit. it provides power and cooling gas to the missile. i think a chemical reaction battery and it gets hot.
@@danielbrown7231 why does the battery need to be so cold? Why not use a battery that doesn't get so hot?
@@danielbrown7231 Thanks, I was guessing that it was a CO2 canister for the initial launch propulsion prior to the main engine ignition.
@@pyr3x849 the IR unit needs to be cold, the compressed gas in the cooling/battery does that. The battery needs to deliver alot of current, NOW! So that part of the cooling/battery gets really, really hot.
I'm sure the U.S. Armed Forces would be interested in any improvement you can develop.
@@verbotn that only one of its many jobs.
Does anyone know what they pull out of the bottom of the launcher after fireing and then toss away is?
Russia; we have migs
Stinger: I'm about to wreck this planes whole carrer
I wish it could be converted with the flick of a switch, to ground to ground weapon. For light armored vehicles and troop transports.
The way it launches, is the reason it can't be (easily) used against heat producing, ground targets.
When it's pushed out of the tube, before the rocket motor ignites, it drops about 2 meters. If it's being held level vs upward, the missile impacts the ground.
Now, if one were standing on the edge of a flat roof, say two stories up....
With every dozen you purchase, we'll throw in a case of champagne.

Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up as a support
4:48 I don't think that man needs face camo.
I noticed that every time a missile is fired the soldier next to the shooter jumps and pulls the little canister off the launcher real quick what’s the story there?
Yeah I wanna know this too. Even looks like in one launch the operator forgets to remove it and the guy instructing pulls it urgently with the kind of body language that says "you neglected to remove the ironic self-immolation device that kills you while you celebrate defeating the enemy in order to emphasize the futility of war and man's inhumanity to man"
The fucker gets hot.
Apparently it's a *"thermal battery"* and it will damage the reusable portion of the launcher if it's not removed.
Being a helicopter pilot was a great job.
What's the part they was in a hurry to dump in the last bit of the video? You could see the instructor quickly grab and toss it when he realizes the one holding the stinger didn't.
Might be the part that kicks it out of the tube before the rocket motor takes over.
durant ma formation , j'ai été instruit sur Milan. Remarquable car le blindé visé avait exactement 10 secondes pour s'échapper. Malheureusement, cet antichar était filoguidé avec toutes les contraintes liées à cette particularité. Ici, c'est infiniment plus indépendant du contexte géographique mais toujours aussi efficace !
US 🇺🇸Stinger missile 🚀 is also highly accurate, because it uses an infrared seeker to lock on to the heat in the engine's exhaust, and will hit nearly anything flying below 11,000 feet.
That’s not hot it works but sure we will go with that.
8,000 feet range.
Could these be used in conjunction with Australian Army Metal Storm tech. That would be cool!
The Stinger should apply for a veteran's discount, that launcher has seen some wars
These should be covered under the 2nd Amendment. The recent events in Europe should prove that the American people need a way to fight against aerial threats.
I agree. Guns are limited help compared to aircraft.
No y’all are are already wreck-less with what you have.
Stinger is a terrifying weapon. I flew helicopters 22 years Navy it is locked on before you can activate flares and chaff
So what can u do if someone locks and fire on you? Pray and hope?
@@DreamFamilyHouse93 There are various electronic defense systems such as the the "disco ball" which shines a laser at the enemy missile to blind IR missiles.
Chaff flares and disco don’t work with the singer 🙃
How do helicopters detect a target lock on them in the first place?
@@orlock20 The so called "disco ball" is an anti-UV system (latest Stinger missiles have IR and UV tracking. So does the Russian MANPADS)
So you have flares as anti-IR and disco as anti-UV
I have first seen the disco ball on AH-64's and UH-60's
Can you use the stinger on ground to ground targets, or to that what the Javelin and RPG are for?
What are they quickly pulling out of the bottom and tossing on the ground after launching?
Are the stingers reusable then, also i noticed after firing you remove the cooling unit straight away, why do they do that?
Battery Cooling Unit is disposable, and also "heats-up to 400 degrees F 3 to 5 minutes after activation." Removal after usage necessary so it doesn't damage the gripstock.
@@Ryan_Christopher I knew about the coolant cartridge but I didn't know about the *thermal battery.* That's a crazy mixture of hot and cold in that thing.
Thanks for the info.
@@ddegn It cannot help but get hot due to the laws of thermodynamics. All that heat removed from the seeker (so it sees a target) has to go somewhere and fast, and the electrical process of such rapid refrigeration likewise generates heat.
@@Ryan_Christopher The coolant is argon. The heat was removed when the argon was initially compressed. When compressed gasses are released, the gases can absorb heat.
Scuba tanks and other compressed gas cylinders get cold when the pressure is released.
The heat produced from the cartridges is a separate process. It's using some sort of "thermal battery" which uses a chemical reaction to produce a lot of power at once.
One upgrade I feel is necessary is making stinger
missile modular in 2 parts
1-Propulsion system part
2-Guidance & Warhead part
which can assemble at operation area in case of Guerrilla Warfare or specially needed for airborne troops
7:03 was a pretty cool display.
Your channel is #1.
Polish "Piorun" is even better that stinger, and also is used in Ukraine.
“thunderbolt”
And it's great that Poland is sending so much aid, Europe will have to help Ukraine more to resist Putin, his territorial ambitions will only be stopped with a serious defeat.
I always thought a good rule for anything combat related is to never get complacent. Halting development of new defensive tech cause your potential opponents arent pushing out new aircraft designs isnt a good idea.

FIM-92 Stinger: Coming to a Russian fly boy near you.
This subject was not discussed and I would like to know: once a missile is launched, can you reload the portable launcher with a new missile or it's just a throw away kinda deal ? Do we have individual missiles ready to be loaded on used launchers ?
The tube is spent but the grip stock is reusable.
basically the barrel is done but the firing mechanisms are reusable
Yes it can be reloaded. It comes as a reusable launcher and disposable "missile in a tube". You jettison the spent missile tube and lock a new one in place and can shoot again. The seeker in the missile has to be cooled so you also have to replace the single use battery cooling unit. It supplies all the power and cooling gas in a single one shot cartridge. Once you cool the seeker you need to replace the battery cooling unit even if you don't fire.
@@fimothy fancy seeing you here.
@@namechamps what is it that they throw away after launch ?
Between the Stinger System and the Javelin , Ukraine should bring much hurt against the Russians.
Hopefully this gets resolved quickly before more Blood is shed. Russian or Ukrainian, most of these Boys fighting would rather go home.
