Ye, imagine what we got in 200-300 years if we havent already destroyed earth by then

Good. Hopefully we fully end their bloodlines.

You know what may become an issue in the future? When the US/West invades another country, i.e. engages in a conflict somewhere, you can bet, that the Russians will supply those fighting against them with stingers, javelins and what not. That will cause an unspeakable amount of suffering and destruction/death among our troops! I don't know if we ever thought about that, but it will most definitely happen! We can see through the conflicts in Yemen, Afghanistan, and Iraq that the Western equipment is not invincible, to the contrary, it gets destroyed. No matter what system, even the Abrams get easily busted in Yemen! There is nothing we can do about it, but to take the casualties and fight through a devastating war… A war that could be much easier to handle, if the enemy would not have the ability to get supplied by the Russians… I am not saying that we ought not supply Ukraine with arms, I don't know what the right decision is, but I wish that we at least have a conversation about it.

I live in MA where there are multiple Raytheon locations including the world headquarters in Waltham..we've also had other defense contractors located here such as Textron. I've known a few ppl who worked for Raytheon as well...some of the stuff they come up for as defense systems etc are certainly pretty badass. Happy to see those products helping aid those defending their land and freedom in Ukraine.

Javelin is like 400 grand per, however it has anti-tank capabilities.

I was looking for the cost. Thanks. And damn, that's really not a bad cost at all, considering. It's affordable enough to train soldiers on how to use them. They sell themselves to countries that want to buy them, although I'm sure we give them away plenty cuz Murica. And they're seemingly pretty reliable. Small enough to transport a few in your car. Light enough for females to operate. While $38k is affordable for what the weapon does/can do, I'm realizing who really wins the war. Raytheon, plane makers and others in their position

Why? Russian military and their weapons are junk. its like Russia hasn't advanced since the 1980s

Those are worthless data anyway because the only reason why Putin adopted this strategy is because he doesn't want to annihilate Ukrainian people because ultimately he sees them as Russians whether or not Ukrainians are agree with that statement whereas Putin doesn't give a F about the United States thus he surely won't mind unleashing his deadliest bioweapons upon your @zzes and based on how clueless and undisciplined U.S. citizens have poorly performed during the pandemic trust me having to deal with deadly biological warfare is the last thing you want I'm just sayin...

The less you knw what is going on, the fewer the responsibilities and you can just focus on what your orders are.

Hey! What do you think this is, rocket science? ;-)

The Stinger is an IR missile. It just cares about heat. A radar guided missile will care about clutter such as a flock of birds or trees moving in the wind.

@@orlock20 I am not clear what your point is. IR missiles still have operational limits. This is confirmed btw that that hind was taken down by Piorun.

@@tomcspa9458 They have safety limits so the missile doesn't blow up the operator, but there are even IR missiles that can go after ground targets. For instance, a Sidewinder launched by an American jet locked onto and hit a Turkish destroyer.

@@orlock20 Do you understand the concept of minimum and maximum altitude, minimum and maximum range?

@@tomcspa9458 What if the operator is on a hill, and the target is flying below the operator, in a valley..? I can give a hint. it will work. as long as the IR or UV signature, coming from the target is powerful enough. minimum range = yes minimum altitude = no I served with a Stingerteam which was protecting Dyarbakir in Turkey, during the gulfwar.

Hi Peter. I hear you. My personal definition of cool stuff is it's all the stuff "no-one" knows about. I was physics but I did think about electrical engineering later. No matter. It's all fun. I've used Raytheon equipment but only civilian apps. Great gear. Peace.

Not worth having the blood on your hands, honestly. Raytheon is one of the most crooked corporations on the planet.

Stop making them in 2003

Not me. Do not know anything except they are feared. Must be good.

They've been around since the 1980s. It's an extremely easy to operate weapon system. Quite a few in every branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, were taught to operate them over the last 50 years.

Might be the part that kicks it out of the tube before the rocket motor takes over.

That's the pressure missile ejection system for a soft launch. One can per launch.

@@StormyDog Cool thanks. But why do they immediately pull it and throw it 10-15 feet away? Is there any risk of harm? Like starting at around 8:39 you see it repeatedly.

It is extremely hot after launch, and if the don't remove it quickly you will damage the launcher.

@@moguaiato5583 thanks!

Great question I wonder same thing

The way it launches, is the reason it can't be (easily) used against heat producing, ground targets. When it's pushed out of the tube, before the rocket motor ignites, it drops about 2 meters. If it's being held level vs upward, the missile impacts the ground. Now, if one were standing on the edge of a flat roof, say two stories up....

Yeah I wanna know this too. Even looks like in one launch the operator forgets to remove it and the guy instructing pulls it urgently with the kind of body language that says "you neglected to remove the ironic self-immolation device that kills you while you celebrate defeating the enemy in order to emphasize the futility of war and man's inhumanity to man"

The fucker gets hot.

Apparently it's a *"thermal battery"* and it will damage the reusable portion of the launcher if it's not removed.

It will blow

its a battery cooling unit. it provides power and cooling gas to the missile. i think a chemical reaction battery and it gets hot.

@@danielbrown7231 why does the battery need to be so cold? Why not use a battery that doesn't get so hot?

@@danielbrown7231 Thanks, I was guessing that it was a CO2 canister for the initial launch propulsion prior to the main engine ignition.

@@pyr3x849 the IR unit needs to be cold, the compressed gas in the cooling/battery does that. The battery needs to deliver alot of current, NOW! So that part of the cooling/battery gets really, really hot. I'm sure the U.S. Armed Forces would be interested in any improvement you can develop.

@@verbotn that only one of its many jobs.

Unlikely considering the quantity of Stingers the Ukrainians. The difference is too little to determine support the claim that a different launcher was used. Who knows though. As far as I know the newer one‘s pack a bigger punch. That‘s the end of my expertise and to be honest without looking it up rn my best source is „trust me bro“

That invasion force might have lasted a week if Ukraine were properly supplied and trained. Isn't the mud season coming soon? Maybe they figured they would have all of Ukraine before hand. If that convoy gets stuck there during mud season they could be in for a long spring.

It looks like the smoke from the rocket reaches the launcher. I'd also like to know the answers to your questions.

It tastes like victory! :)

The heat feels like when opening the oven to get the baked cookies out. And the smoke tastes like salt and sea water.

Black cherry.

Battery Cooling Unit is disposable, and also "heats-up to 400 degrees F 3 to 5 minutes after activation." Removal after usage necessary so it doesn't damage the gripstock.

@@Ryan_Christopher I knew about the coolant cartridge but I didn't know about the *thermal battery.* That's a crazy mixture of hot and cold in that thing. Thanks for the info.

@@ddegn It cannot help but get hot due to the laws of thermodynamics. All that heat removed from the seeker (so it sees a target) has to go somewhere and fast, and the electrical process of such rapid refrigeration likewise generates heat.

@@Ryan_Christopher The coolant is argon. The heat was removed when the argon was initially compressed. When compressed gasses are released, the gases can absorb heat. Scuba tanks and other compressed gas cylinders get cold when the pressure is released. The heat produced from the cartridges is a separate process. It's using some sort of "thermal battery" which uses a chemical reaction to produce a lot of power at once.

The tube is spent but the grip stock is reusable.

basically the barrel is done but the firing mechanisms are reusable

Yes it can be reloaded. It comes as a reusable launcher and disposable "missile in a tube". You jettison the spent missile tube and lock a new one in place and can shoot again. The seeker in the missile has to be cooled so you also have to replace the single use battery cooling unit. It supplies all the power and cooling gas in a single one shot cartridge. Once you cool the seeker you need to replace the battery cooling unit even if you don't fire.

@@fimothy fancy seeing you here.

@@namechamps what is it that they throw away after launch ?

“thunderbolt”

And it's great that Poland is sending so much aid, Europe will have to help Ukraine more to resist Putin, his territorial ambitions will only be stopped with a serious defeat.

Yeah those literal Nazis fight to the end. The end wasn't quite what they expected the last time in the 1940's, but now they're backed by NATO... who knows! Fuck Ukraine.

The more Russian blood gets shed, the sooner is it over.

That’s not hot it works but sure we will go with that.

8,000 feet range.

The Stinger is remarkably inexpensive at $38K per shot, when compared with the Javelin though. Different tools for different problems; the Stinger won't penetrate the armor of modern tanks, and thus needs a shaped charge and higher velocity along with a more sophisticated fuse. It has a "pre-charge" to set off any reactive armor before the main charge goes off, thus defeating reactive armor.

@@simplywonderful449 I'm not questioning it's effectiveness. It's just messed up that these kids in the army are literally exploding most people's yearly salaries in a few seconds just for practice...

So what can u do if someone locks and fire on you? Pray and hope?

@@DreamFamilyHouse93 There are various electronic defense systems such as the the "disco ball" which shines a laser at the enemy missile to blind IR missiles.

Chaff flares and disco don’t work with the singer 🙃

How do helicopters detect a target lock on them in the first place?

@@orlock20 The so called "disco ball" is an anti-UV system (latest Stinger missiles have IR and UV tracking. So does the Russian MANPADS) So you have flares as anti-IR and disco as anti-UV I have first seen the disco ball on AH-64's and UH-60's

I agree. Guns are limited help compared to aircraft.
