👉 The IT weapon, often referred to as the Stinger or Stinger Missile, is a short-range, surface-to-air missile developed by the United States and used primarily by the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. It is designed to intercept and destroy incoming surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) from low to medium altitudes, typically within a 30-mile radius of the launch site. The Stinger operates by using radar homing technology to lock onto and track its target, then firing a short-range, high-speed missile that can penetrate the outer layers of the incoming missile. Its compact size and rapid deployment capabilities make it an effective countermeasure against SAM threats, enhancing naval air defense systems.
