| #4 *** All of which is very interesting to watch, unless of course, you happen to be on-board the aircraft. |

| #3 It's an anti-aircraft* system not a anti-missile** system. Next up stand-off missile with a range greater the 8km, or if you have a really really good pilot, a lob bomb. * with aircraft you just have to ding up the body enough to degrade its flight specs. Close is often good enough. ** with an incoming missile you have to literal shoot a bullet with a bullet. There is no margin. |

| #1 ATILGAN Pedestal Mounted Stinger System Pedestal Mounted Stinger System, ATILGAN, is a fully automated firing unit using 8 ready to fire FIM-92 Stinger MANPADS (Man-Portable Air-Defense System) missiles and 12.7 mm. automatic machine gun for very short range air defense. ATILGAN is based on an armored/tracked personnel carrier M113A2 and it is operated with a three-man crew the driver, the gunner and the commander. 8 km flight ceiling is a bit of a mistranslation. Maybe 8km range for some models. |
