FIM-92 Stinger missile
The FIM-92 Stinger, and its helicopter-mounted counterpart the AIM-92 Air-To-Air Stinger (ATAS), is an American infrared-homing missile. The FIM-92 is also known as the "Fliegerfaust 2 Stinger" in German service. The Stinger is what is commonly known as a MANPADS missile - short for Man-Portable Air Defense System - and was developed to be portable and self-reliant. As such, the missile comes equipped with an Infrared Counter-Countermeasure (IRCCM) seeker, meaning it can reject enemy flares with devastating accuracy and home in straight towards an enemy aircraft. While lacking in range compared to some of its contemporaries, the excellent efficiency and moderate range means that, just as in real life, these missiles can pose a threat at a moment's notice.
