How To Fire A Stinger Missile • FIM-92 Stinger In Action
A U.S. Marine Corps Instructor from 2nd Low Altitude Air Defense Battalion (2nd LAAD) explains how to fire an FIM-92 Stinger missile. Members of the 2nd LAAD fire Stinger missiles at drone targets during training at Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona. 2nd LAAD uses Stinger surface-to-air missiles to provide close-in, low altitude air defense against enemy aircraft. The FIM-92 Stinger is an infrared homing surface-to-air missile (SAM), Man-Portable Air-Defense System (MANPADS). Filmed on March 27-28, 2015.

*Thank you for the guide and the military support! Greetings from Ukraine!🇺🇸🤝🇺🇦* UPD: Thank you for all the support, People of the World!🇺🇦🤝🌎
❤️
The world is uniting behind you all be safe help will arrive
Fight hard and stay safe! Sending prayers your way! 🇺🇦🤘❤️💯
We're all rooting for you all!
Pay attention how to use it! extra 200 Stinger missiles from NL heading your way. Good luck
*Person flying their drone nearby* “That’s weird I just lost signal”
LMAO
😂
Hahahaha
Then they hear the boom
Took down a $1000 drone with a $20000 missile. Fair trade
I'm a former Stinger missile tech. Getting a lock isn't as easy as they make it sound because the reticle is tiny. It's actually a pretty tough shot but once you get a lock, game over.
The problem with stinger missile is that its range only 5 km ,😣
Stingers can make easy work of choppers though.
@@user-nv2ts6zt2t I forget but yeah it's pretty short range.
@@farzana6676definitely better for helicopters. If I remember correctly, the missile knows the difference and at the last second will actually fly up and attack down into the blades.😉🇺🇸
@@gandalfstormcrow8439 stinger very useful against choppers but it can only hit su fighters if its on low attitude and i hope ukranians have the luck to take su down
Suddenly very relevant.
perfect for home defense
Protecting your home from enemy aircraft
Brandon Or protecting yourself from rouge buildings.
You could really effectively self adjudicate irritating traffic altercations with this
Especially if you live in Syria.
You never know when you're going to run into an intruder with a bomb suit and a machine gun

Is this also good for taking out commercial aircraft? Good thing he went through all of the details online!
@@jonothandoeser Yes and no, it would more then likely only take out one engine. They are heat seaking and have a pretty small warhead.
Ukraine: *gets supplied with Stinger missiles* Russia: "Oh fuck! Not this again!"
Hahahahahah
Russians have Mujahideen Nightmares....Stinger Missles, almost singlehandedly sent the Russians packing back to Moscow....
How did they not see this coming?
*Afghanistan flashbacks*
Haha we know who controls airspace in just 5 days Ukraine will be next Syria, that is how these war criminals armed the Isis as well, while all of ur men will die & ur women will be in the laps of western men. They can only give u weapons to destroy urself, not even a EU membership & u think they care abt u…😂😂😂 Just pitying at ur stupidity from 🇮🇳, ppl r so incompetent to learn from history
I feel like Im sufficiently trained to fire a stinger now. Thanks!
yes.... terrorists say thanks too... wtf
@Nathan Morrow They were freedom fighters.
@@georgegordonbrown9522 more like mercenaries.
@@johnwig285 More like, citizens defending their country. Imagine soviets invaded, say, Cleveland. First, pity the fool. Second, you would be just like an Afghan Freedom Fighter!! Cool, eh comrade?

They had these on sale last week at Walmart
Ummm no
i need one. need to go to walmart now.
I picked up 2 and a M60 at my local Walmart. I didn't want to wait till black Friday.
You missed the savings!
have a chill pill
I think this soldier has a language of his own. So many terminologies, impressive. God bless you all.
The KZhead algorithm has saved the day again... info the whole world is gonna need.
Man it is really true that you can find almost any tutorial on KZhead lol
almost, i tried finding how to program ground missiles to hit a city or a building, like hammas and israel are currently doing, nothing came up, except for this
@@tombalabomba03 that’s easy. Buy those weapons from the US and have them teach you
ALMOST..... I'M STILL WAITING ON THE METH CHENISTRY.
When I first hit the fleet after boot camp I received all my issued gear and I there was a main pack system that i didn’t know how to set up and I was too embarrassed to ask my Corporals so I looked it up on KZhead and to my surprise there where a lot of veterans showing step by step how to do it
@@8347W Don't matter cuz it's not about knowing how to use it, u 1st need access to these kind of weapons. If u do it's prolly not that hard to figure out how to use it too.
When you catch the dude that keeps posting "You'd look really good in my private helicopter" under your girl's pics.
I feel like this is now essential viewing for more and more ukrainians this past week. Hopefully they'll get a lot of these
The EU is sending them literally thousands :-D
@@ShamblerDK SUPERB.
Hopefully not. Putyin will not forget these "Gifts".
It's not like they're handing these out like candy to random civilians or even random soldiers without training. These cost $120,000 each, plus the launcher. This video is purely for entertainment purposes and is all unclassified publicly available knowledge.
This surely will help Ukraine army to save many civilians lives. Only one person, that should suffer is Putin.
Amazing that with little Training , Afghans brought down almost 200+ Warplanes of Russia with these light weight Missile system , and Stinger became decider of War ...Wow 👍
Hope Ukrainians do the same
This is why the Russians are being cautious about sending their fancy jets to Ukraine, they know that this small usable weapon can make a mockery of their hi-tech planes.
Wow, this is a WAY more sophisticated weapons system than I'd realized. So many incredibly high-tech components to it. And so many steps to use it effectively. Awesome, thank you!
@@budmeister "we"?
@@budmeister Okay..thats better
Monokuma - it’s been upgraded since then, same for the Igla and the Chinese/Iranian copies of the Igla. Most of the Stingers in Afghanistan are used as ‘bling’ by armed groups, as they are very expensive, not so effective against modern NATO aircraft, and the thermal batteries that stingers need are long dead (replacements are very very difficult to obtain, for obvious reasons).
@@maisawaguchi663 its your own fault if you identified with him when he said "we" dont get all pissy
@@budmeister Don't you dare imply that she's American! She doesn't even want to think for a second that she's anything related to those baby killing bacon eating monsters! Also she learned and speaks English for some reason.
It's 6am I'v been up all night. It's funny how it always ends like this..
Miles to go before I sleep my friend miles to go
Me too
Mee too..5:35 am
add the stinger to r2da :D it's 2 in the morning
3:44 am
To the Marine speaking, you are a well educated, well spoken, apex predator of evil. Well done warrior.
The precision and attention to detail of any given Soldier is simply amazing!
As a Canadian soldier I can only imagine what it's like to have budget large enough to do this.
@teknomogul dang
teknomogul WTF are you talking about that’s not true at all
teknomogul Source? I don’t believe that.
It’s awesome lol. Much love to our brothers in arms, the Canadians!
We just imagine our money is actually worth something really, our faith in our value of money is why where still 1#

@@warsawiconic sorry sir! I thought this was some Indian scammer trying to impress and scam people ! 🙏
@@SanjanaRanasingha What is your problem that you are objectively trying to drag Indians out here without any reason?
this video serves its purpose now ...
Metal Gear Solid taught me this can easily be reloaded by taping R2 twice real quick
I can carry 6 stingers in battlefield 4. Am I cool?
Damon Ge without a doubt you are the coolest guy I know. up until now I thought James Bond was the coolest... but yep, now it's you.
haha, thanks buddy!
Damon Ge u know bf is very unrealistic, where a heli can get multiple direct hits and can even go on flying... In reality: One hit, one kill xd
Infinite Creations Man, I know it is very unrealistic. I was just making a fun comment here.
Damon Ge and i can carry 7 javelin Missiles in bf4 with which i can hit a enemy tank 3 times directly on top and it can easyly drive away like nothing happenbed xD
This is one of the best innovation I think..
This instructor knows his stuff! 👍😊 Very informative video and he explains it so easily. Thank you!
Why do you hate Russia? Why do you want to fight them back?

Very expensive skeet shooting
I asked Raytheon how much the stinger I fired cost and they told me approx. 90,000 but this was back in 2002.
not as expensive as the enemy aircraft you can take down with it
Lol
Lets make it olympic.
@@genericwhitemale6089 Assuming you're british or one of its commonwealths by you addressing us as "Yanks", it's worth reminding you that your great empire was also hated by others for a time. The biggest ones tend to be the easiest punching bags for most second-rate nations. I'm Interested to see how China deals with you people when they're at the top.
Crazy how fast they can get someone with a MANPAD to down low flying helicopters and aircraft. Also, love the sound when it acquires a target!
Great weapon. Excellent tutorial, very well explained.
The Ukrainians are gonna love this awesome tool .
Thanks for the detailed explanation. When aliens finally decided to invade earth, I will know what to do if I stumble upon a stinger missile launcher.
😂🤣😆
You'll also need a javelin missile cause its more effective against their crawlers, of course thats whithout the shield on
Не дай бог целится в них, этот стингер может оказаться в заднем проходе у стрелка, за долго до выстрела.
Too slow. 4th density can move at least Mach 10 in any direction dodging all missiles.
Go over to Ukraine for some "target practice."
He was an excellent trainer, thinking of his students, fully detailed, who, what, why and where, he knows his stuff!! Good on him.

"Hinds hate him"
And also, the people be hind.
One stinger cannot take out hind specially the new ones, of course it will send it back to base.
DIRCM makes it useless
Is it sufficient for Bhramos? Lol
Sayak roy-choudhury But nothing is guaranteed, the best way to avoid getting shot down is to avoid enemy anti-air altogether.
Thanks for this. I found a box of these under an old mattress at the back of Denny's and couldn't quite figure out how to use 'm.
Rambo is my dad? kewl
No you're confusing that story with the one about your own mother now.
Pffff
+Del Berry (delberry) Watch this video over again and follow the instruction.
These guys in the military are impressive, I think many Americans need to treat them with the utmost respect and provide them employment and housing after there services are finished. This country needs to treat there veterans better then what they have. I support our troops 💯👍🏾
The professionalism of a well-trained and self-motivated solder is incomparable. That young man knows his stuff!
True, the cost of one three bed two bath house equates to just one Javelin missile! PS what happens if a rookie soldier screws up and wastes a missile ? Does it go to some kind of disciplinary panel of enquiry or does his supervisor just say "bad luck, try again"?
We treat them fine. They get hiring preference (as they should) and most everyone has respect for them.
One of if not the best portable anti aircraft shoulder fire weapons on earth scary effectiveness
What a great job that marine did explaining that weapons system.
Imagine telling in the middle ages somebody that in future people will show their arrows to the enemies and they will find their ways themselves.
I know it's crazy right that's why these thing are so cool.
And they will explode!
@@comradeq2493 They can feed all the African continent for the price of 4 of those launchers, but they are still amazing :D!
@@iseedeathpeoples8522 they could feed themselves
@@iseedeathpeoples8522 You are right, but as long as we have stupid dictators like Putler, we also need those kind of weapons against them. :(

Now we're ready to protect our homes from muscovite aviation. Thank you, Uncle Sam. Slava Ukraini and God Bless America.
LUL didnt age well
@@deliriumbee4678 How didn't it age well? The Ukrainian people are LITERALLY "protecting their homes from muscovite aviation" with Stingers as I type this. I'd say his comment actually aged like a fine wine. As a matter of fact, just yesterday there was an incredible video taken from a civilian drone that showed the Ukrainian shoot down of a Russian Hind using what was almost certainly a Stinger missile.
@@deliriumbee4678 I don't think you understand how your comment is supposed to work.
@@deliriumbee4678 They shot down 8 aircraft in 1 day with these so i would say its going alright.
You're welcome Ukraine. Long live democracy. Sorry we couldn't be there to help but we're confident you can do this on your own. Love you guys. God bless Ukraine.
I’ve always wondered how they worked. And this is a weapon from the 80s
We need to send more of these to Ukraine asap 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇸
Germany just shipped 1500 Stinger Missiles to Ukraine!!
@@eysank 500!
The Netherlands did send another 200 of those, which just has been arrived.
i think US shipped more today.
@@ElTaKa11 Yeah, we need to realize that the CIA and other east european intelligence are having a field day with supplying the Ukrainings full of stingers and javelins. They are making sure Russia pays.
Stinger inflicted heavy losses on the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, the Afghan Mujahideen were using them against Soviet planes and they shot down more than 270 Soviet planes with Stinger missiles.
and now it continues to shoot down russians.
Informative. Useful. Calming. Inspiring. Life-changing. Enjoyable. Heart-warming. Other.
Excellent demonstration and instruction!
I was a Stinger Section Chief many years ago. It has greatly improved. It used to leave a big smoke trail back to the launcher. Now the target has no way to tell where it comes from. Otherwise it works the same.
Eh, the Russians will blow a tire trying to find you anyway.
Changing the propellant chemistry is what did the trick. Thank the propellant chemists for that; you may want to read John D. Clark's book, "Ignition" for an idea of the complexity in coming up with rocket propulsion fuels. While Stingers and Javelins are solid fuel rockets, ICBMs and many other military missiles are liquid-fueled, using an amazing range of chemicals you don't want to mess with!
@@rainsong7327 exact range classified.
ISIS couldn’t figure out how to use the 3600 stingers you guys left behind , they thank you for the complete tutorial.
never thought when i woke up today that i'd know how to fire a stinger missile before bedtime.
Litter Ukraine with Russian aircrafts. A hand held air defense system. American technology is unmatched.
Thanks for the tutorial bro.....helped me alot.
these tutorials are very useful in case i ever fight a fighterjet in the skies, i will be prepared!
who would have thought that after 7 years, some ppl will need it, a tutorial for weapons, woah, cool
Detailed Guide, thank you.
I was a Redd Eye/Stinger operator in the m 2 25 22id 80s. I THINK That the one shown is different than what I operated. It seems like I had to open up that cage, like it was of use in the sighting of the missel. It also seemed to hunt the target rather than the straight to the target the pic shows. We had a jeep and a 1/4ton trailer, with, either 2 to a casket, or 4 caskets with one in each hermetically sealed, so we were told. This is the first time I have looked this up. 2 25 22
Love that that man was U.S MARINES CORP. God bless you and your family sir.
We were in the desert in MOPP suits. We got a stinger missile operator as an attachment. He too was in MOPP gear. No name tag. I asked him his name. He said Steve. Not PFC Jones or Smith or whatever. Just Steve. I said OK. Nice to meet you Steve. Gave him an Oreo cookie as a treat. Gave him a nice place to sleep at night too. Be nice to your attachments. Makes things flow better. Briefed my CO we had Steve as an AA asset. Questions and then laughter followed. Steve became a bit of a celebrity with his first name basis vibe. Good guy. Miss ya buddy. 💘
I don’t remember mopp suits having nametags and an Oreo in bfe? Living the high life ;)

There are already few vids from Ukrainians using Stinger. Thanks for support!

Amazing weapon,and so simply to use.Thank's for the video.
Tracks negative ultraviolet and positive infrared. What a bloodhound.
Ukraine needs thousands of these

India: bobs
The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't.
Best video on KZhead on how the stinger works!
Powerful weapon
Advanced skeet shooting - this things awesome! Thanks for the video
Prayers to Ukraine! Go get 'em!
Love the stinger.
Thanks. The last Stinger I bought at Walmart was missing the instruction book. This will help!
This will come handy now! Slava Ukraini!
I was 16S in the 80's. Never got to live fire the Stinger but did hump the MILES version all over NTC Ft. Irwin and scored a few hits. Kinda fun to see this video after so many years. I'm kinda surprised to see this info out in public, it used to require a secret clearance. I guess after all this time they are becoming old tech.
I’m surprised to see detailed info like this (on the actual launching procedure) out in the open too. I mean John Q. Public has no access to the weapon itself… but calling out what seems to be a complete launching procedure on KZhead for all to see seems wrong in my book. (ex-Redeye Gunner, Cold War)
I went through the Stinger weapon School with the 8th ID at Mainz, Germany. I got to shoot the Red-eye Missile at NAAMFI on Crete. We were all awarded AAMs because nobody on our team were 16S qualified.
Wow. You always knew these kinds of missiles existed but seeing it in action in a “non movie” setting was pretty incredible. I wonder how much money is sitting on his shoulder.
Very thorough and professional explanation.
May this help the Ukrainians help to defend themselves against Russian aggression. 30 nations of Europe stands with Ukraine. Russia is alone in the word
Sadly China is with them and I think they are up to something bigger than Ukraine
Not exactly, Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezeula, and North Korea stand in support of Russia! AND FOX NEWS !!! Sheesh!
pretty sure belarus also supports russia. I mean russia did attack from there.
Belarus and North Korean, and what a shame, Orbán Viktor as well. :( Even China and Kazakhstan stepped back a bit.
@@dgillies5420 Fox News!🤣🤣🤣🤣 You couldn't be more correct
great vid usa
Came in handy during the Shadow Moses Island Incident in 2005 as well!

You can always ask an old person from afganistan as the US gave them stingers to use against the Russians. 😂😂😂😉😂😂😂

Sweet now i can go out and use my stinger! God Bless America
WOW the correlation of the Stinger is astonishing !
Get the opportunity to go to school and learn how to use this weapon system in a couple months. Super excited!!!
we reached the 'you can learn literally ANYTHING on the internet' level
i need to know how to fire a stinger before going to exam
humor haha 🤣
Someone asks a question: What have you learned during the weekend? How to fire a Stinger...
Great period of instruction Cpl.
great refresh brother!!
I actually wondered how those things work. Great video!
