It's cloudy so targets are hidden except for the last one, but good footage of the weapon being fired.
FIM-92 Stinger
The FIM-92 Stinger is a Man-Portable Air-Defense System (MANPADS) that operates as an infrared homing surface-to-air missile (SAM). It can be adapted to fire from a wide variety of ground vehicles and helicopters (as an AAM ). Developed in the United States
this weapon system entered service in 1981 and is used by the
militaries of the United States and by 29 other countries. It is
principally manufactured by Raytheon Missile Systems and is produced under license by EADS in Germany and by Roketsan in Turkey with 70,000 missiles produced.
Light to carry and easy to operate, the FIM-92 Stinger is a passive surface-to-air missile ,
that can be shoulder-fired by a single operator (although standard
military procedure calls for two operators, spotter and gunner). The
FIM-92B missile can also be fired from the M-1097 Avenger and the M6 Linebacker . The missile is also capable of being deployed from a Humvee Stinger rack, and can be used by airborne troops. A helicopter launched version exists called Air-to-Air Stinger (ATAS).
The missile is 5.0 ft (1.52 m) long and 2.8 in (70 mm) in diameter
with 10 cm fins. The missile itself weighs 22 lb (10.1 kg), while the
missile with launcher weighs approximately 34 lb (15.2 kg). The Stinger
is launched by a small ejection motor that pushes it a safe distance
from the operator before engaging the main two-stage solid-fuel
sustainer, which accelerates it to a maximum speed of Mach 2.54
(750 m/s). The warhead is a 3 kg penetrating hit-to-kill warhead type
with an impact fuze and a self-destruct timer.
