The FIM-92 Stinger is an American man-portable air-defense system that functions as an infrared-homing surface-to-air missile. It can be fired from the shoulder or adapted to a range of ground vehicles, helicopters and drones as the Air-to-Air Stinger. It entered service in 1981 and has since been used by the United States military and by the armed forces of at least 29 other countries. The missile is principally built by Raytheon Missiles and Defense, and is also produced under license by Airbus Defence and Space in Germany and by Roketsan in Turkey.
