Top 8 MANPADS (man-portable air defense system) in the world today

Video description: There are guided weapons and are a threat to low-flying aircraft, especially helicopters. Guess what it is? Yes we’re talking about the man-portable air defence system or in short MANPADS. They are surface-to-air missiles that can be fired by an individual or a small team of people against aircraft. These missiles, affordable and widely available through a variety of sources, have been used successfully over the past three decades both in military conflicts, as well as by terrorist organizations. They have received a great deal of attention especially in the ongoing Russian Ukraine war. This video presents the top 8 MANPADS in the world today.
Enjoy watching. Cheers!

Actually Grom is no longer produced. Instead since 2019 is manufactured more advanced Piorun, purchased also by USA since they considered it better than Stinger.

[wlaba]

How could you forget about PIORUN, currently the best manpad in the world? It's a modified Grom with 3 different modes of fire: drone, plane, missle. It's better than stinger - info confirmed by US Military, they're buying tons of PIORUNs from Poland.

[WincyjWincyj]

Probably the best one is right now a PIORUN, sucessor of GROM.
You can compare a lot of data, but PIORUN has super advance IR guidance system - it recognizing several infrared sources and hitting right one, insted of f.ex. flares.
Other ones might be faster or better flight attlitude but PIORUN has best probability of kill what is the most important. It is also very easy to use, its light and portable. This is why US ordered them to refill the gap after Stingers.

[maciejhaleniuk]

Number one is polish Piorun.Gently forgotten

[jarokjarok]

Stinger has a propability of 70% when Piorun with double head has almost 100%. Piorun is probably the best MANPADS actually.

[piotrkowalski]

What a poor knowledge! Everyone know that the best in the world actual in use MANPAD is next generation of Grom -> Piorun from Poland. It is better that Stingers and Verba. Even US Army confirmed that fact and they have ordered a huge number of Pioruns from Polish producer Mesko. Ukrainian solders also confirmed that the Piorun MANPAD has the best reliability, effectiveness and accuracy (e.g. very good night using, can hit the targets even flying 10m above the ground, advance multi head missile, protection against enemy using etc.) In near future will be next generation of Piorun MANPADS (upgrade of missile head, better manoeuvrability, bigger range etc.) but Poland probably will not "transfer" all this technology abroad to avoid enemy capture...

[ianjardine]

This list is a joke the Saab and star streak are obviously in a different league faster longer ranged and in every way more effective they completely gloss over the star streak's three/four independent armour penetrating sub munitions causing damage over a wider area even on armoured targets and while I don't know as much about the Saab system its clearly very advanced but looks a lot less portable needing that large stand and other equipment hooked up to it.

[ultrastal]

Where is Piorun? It's the better tan Grom and Igla.

[xveron]

Polski "PIORUN" to prawdopodobnie najlepszy MANPAD na świecie, nie bez powodu USA kupiło ich 600. "PIORUN" to modyfikacja "GROM"

[Waylanification]

Stingers reaching out and touching the hearts of russians since ‘86

[zbiges]

Bullshit. Stinger is the best? :D And that's why the US army bought 600 pieces of Polish manpads called "Piorun" the successor of Grom, right?

[chibaz]

Lol US Army literally purchased Piorun as Stinger replacement and they're not even included

[-__-]

You forgot - Poland sent to Ukraine "Piorun" MANPADS, which entered service in 2019, 1, 82kg warhead, 10, 5kg missile, 6km range, 4km alt. Can mount optics like NV.
US bought some of those too.

[misiekkania]

Piorun is new version of Grom and is much better than it's predasesor

[mr_exia]

The best is the one handled by a soldier who knows his equipment and who has trained regularly.

[PawkoZielarz]

If stinger is so great, why US botght polish Piorun system?

[studiovideo]

Where is polish PIORUN? One of the best air defence system today.

[hiszpan]

stinger nr 1? this is joke? Please look Poland gun

[aleksanderfiold]

Sorry, but this video is weak as russian army. No Polish Piorun here? Hello! Piorun is the best MANPAD on the market right now!

[LisekJG]

Piorun from Poland. It is better that Stinger
