the pla faces insurmountable challenges in dealing with the challenge of portable air defense missiles. facing this "small but deadly" weapon, they need to adopt a more comprehensive strategy. just like on the battlefield, facing a sudden attack, soldiers need to respond quickly and take different actions according to different situations.
the russian army's experience on the battlefield in syria is also an important reference. although they have experienced it in the war, they still suffered a defeat on the battlefield in ukraine. faced with the sneak attack of portable air defense missiles, even experienced russian soldiers could not fully control the situation. this highlights the cruelty and unpredictability of war.
the warhead of the stinger anti-aircraft missile weighs only 1 kg, which is much lighter than ordinary air-to-air missiles. therefore, it plays a greater role in damaging aircraft, but its killing effect will be greatly reduced for heavy armed helicopters with thick armor.
in order to deal with this threat, the pla has actively explored the development of medium-sized and heavy-duty armed helicopters, trying to find a more effective defense strategy. however, medium-sized armed helicopters such as the z-10 are still not as good as heavy-duty armed helicopters in terms of protection, and heavy-duty armed helicopters can carry more jamming bombs, further reducing the combat effectiveness of portable air defense missiles.
fighter aircraft have limited range of use and their protection capabilities are also limited. they can only reduce the threat of portable air defense missiles by improving their jamming capabilities. on the other hand, the pla is actively developing long-range precision-guided weapons. as long as they can fire outside the range of enemy air defense weapons, the enemy's air defense weapons will not be able to pose a threat to pla fighter aircraft.
although the us stinger anti-aircraft missile is indeed a threat, it is unreasonable to say that the pla is "afraid". in the past, the chinese people's volunteer army was not afraid of the various powerful weapons of the united nations army. how could they be afraid of a small portable anti-aircraft missile now?
