It is commonly known as the Stinger missile and is designed to target and destroy low-flying aircraft, including helicopters and drones. The system is man-portable, allowing soldiers to carry and operate it in various combat situations. The FIM-92 uses infrared homing guidance to track and engage its targets. It was first introduced in the late 1970s and has been widely used by the U.S. military and allied forces in various conflicts. The missile's effectiveness and portability make it a crucial asset for air defense operations.
