In later generations, the Stinger missile is definitely a big name, it can appear in various military movies, and it is almost as wonderful as an RPG, not only in the armed forces, but also in the hands of terrorists.

This is a portable anti-aircraft missile, which was developed by General Dynamics in the early seventies, stumbling through many years, and from last year, it can be regarded as a positive result, officially put into service, and equipped the troops.

From the outside, it is a shoulder-mounted weapon, and the operator only needs to aim his eyes at the aiming device above, which seems to be done by one person, and in movies, it is often seen that the brave shooter bravely operates the missile to shoot down the enemy plane when the enemy plane arrives.

In fact, the operation of the stinger can be very complicated, such as now.

Near this launcher, in an area of several square kilometers, there were a total of six launchers like him, all of whom were standing, aiming at their own targets.

And in the middle of them, there is also a light vehicle, which, in the fog, no one can see clearly, hidden in the grass, is equipped with a set of state-of-the-art GSQ-137 "target warning data display devices".

Now, this device is constantly warning the launch team of an approaching aircraft, providing a speculative identification, approximate distance and bearing of the target.

In this way, even in foggy weather, the nearest launch group can accurately capture its own target.

At the same time, this device receives signals from eight nearby pulse Doppler D-band MPQ-49 "forward area warning radars", which transmit target coordinates to the target warning data display device through a radio data link.

In this way, a large net was formed, and just to the east of the base, there were six such groups!

At this time, the operator in front of him was aiming at the target in the sky according to the target warning data showing the target orientation provided by the device, and although he could not see the target clearly, the missile seeker could see it.

As the operator depressed the pulse generator switch, the entire Stinger system was successfully activated, and as the pulse generator excites the BCU, 6,000 PSI of argon gas coolant is released through the cooling line to the infrared detector.

If you want to see the target clearly, you need to have a high-performance infrared seeker, and the infrared seeker needs to be cooled to see more clearly.

Now, the entire cooling process took only 3 milliseconds, and then, the seeker's field of vision gradually became clearer, and when the fog was removed, it had seen its target, the transport plane that was emitting infrared light!

At the same time, the battery began to activate, the gyroscope began to rotate, and the detection electronics, guidance electronics were put into working condition.

Then, there was a long dripping sound in the earphones, which meant that the target had been locked!

According to the requirements, continuous tracking is required to be launched, however, this time is only 6 mm is enough, and now, the missile has completed all preparations, and the shooter pressed the weapon launch trigger.

In the whole process, there is no need to identify friend or foe, as long as you fly over and fight!

As he pressed the trigger, the Stinger missile's booster engine ignited!

The cartridge on the shoulder, with a characteristic vibration and buzzing sound, began to spew exhaust gas from the tail, and in front, under the action of this thrust, the missile began to smash the fragile disc cover in front while spinning, and continued to fly forward!

This process took 1.7 seconds, and then, the missile left the launch tube like a dragon out of the water, and when the tail came out of the launch tube, the booster engine just now had completed its mission and stopped burning.

This is the protection of the shooter.

As the missile flies out, the two movable control surfaces in the front and the four folding tails in the back are deployed, and then detached from the booster engine.

Relying on inertia, the Stinger missile continued to fly forward for more than ten meters, and then, a blazing flame erupted from the tail again, and the dual-thrust Mk 27 solid-propellant rocket engine ignited!

In just 2 seconds, the missile exceeded the speed of sound, reached a maximum speed of Mach 2.2, and continued to fly towards the sky, at this time, it was less than a kilometer away from its target.

The small and light Stinger missile swooped down on the An-12 transport plane, and in the field of view of its seeker, the target became larger and larger, and then, its proximity circuit, finally began to detonate.

"Boom!" The 1-kilogram warhead, violently exploded, and when it was in the final stages, it did not fly to the engine with the strongest infrared rays of the target, but slightly had a declination angle and flew towards the weakest belly.

Countless debris tore the skin of the An-12 transport plane, and then the transport plane ignited a huge fireball.

"002, 002, what's going on? Please answer when you receive, please answer when you receive it! At this time, as the An-12 transport plane exploded into a fireball in the sky, and the dispatch on the ground could not see the bright spots on the screen, at this time, he was quite nervous, what was going on?

The fog was thick, and only a kilometer away from the runway of the airport, the An-12 transport plane was hit by the fuel tank, becoming a fireball in the sky, carrying the equipment and soldiers on it, and it became fragments and fell one after another.

The last explosion on the radio made everyone tremble, what happened?

The fog was supposed to be in their favor, because of the fog, they used a transport plane to pretend to be a passenger plane and forcibly landed, and now, on the contrary, the fog caused them difficulties, although a kilometer, they did not see clearly what was happening.

"Boom!" In less than a minute, a second explosion was heard again, and this time, a Stinger missile only hit the wing of the transport plane.

There was smoke on the wings, and the pilots shouted loudly on the radio: "There is a situation on the ground, there are portable missiles!" ”

The power of the missile is not great, if it is a medium-range missile, then they must be knocked out directly with one shot, and at the same time, if it is a medium-range missile, then the other side will definitely have to lock itself with radar.

Now in this case, it can only be ground-based portable missiles!

This news shocked the follow-up fleets immediately.

What to do?

In the thick fog, they suddenly found themselves in a terrible predicament.

They can't turn around, they have already flown over the eastern airspace at an ultra-low altitude according to the plan, although there is a large distance between them, but in the dense fog, once they turn, there will definitely be a terrible collision in the air!

They can't land either, because on the ground, there are hidden enemies with portable missiles, so then they can only continue to fly west, to the interior of Hokkaido!
