  • In this video, I made a 3D animation about a surface-to-air missile stinger that can be shot alone.
    FIM-92 Stinger's early version of Red Eye Missile,
    Describe the features and operation of the stinger.
    Thank you for watching this video.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

      @@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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.
