Stingers which do not explode would have no chance of fragmenting a B747. TWA800 lost its nose, its empennage and its outer wing panels on impact by missile. Violent CCW yaw decapitated victims and caused most of the FDR anomalies. Negative pitch caused balance of FDR anomalies. When feds ran Stinger tests off Eglin AFB, it was only a boondoggle to support the false reason for the crash. Ditto CalTech study of tank explosion. Ditto reconstruction. Government knew that TWA800 had been shot down on night of crash and the rest of the motions were a cover-up. Probable reason for cover-up was that Clinton was up for reelection in less than four months against a known war hero. As a draft dodging C-in-C he would have lost votes to Dole for a military screwup. Possible reason for false cause. To allow trail lawyers to make a bundle off this crash since they could not sue for a military accident. Most cry babies in forums today don't want real reason to show up because they have a financial interest in the crash.

I know that. The Stinger also uses an optical sensor that sees UV and IR. Two guys in a boat along the climb out path wouldn't need any extra equipment to see the target. Unlike a miltary plane, commercial flights are well lit like a christmas tree. The takeoff/landing lights are very bright and hot, and they are UV bright as well. From underneath, a Stinger wouldn't need to see the engines.

It would see this nice hot light right in the center of mass (Or this nice bright dot.) making a kill almost guaranteed. That light was right about where the nose came away. The Stinger has a six pound warhead. (Made by Picatinny Arsenal.) It gets within a set distance from the target and blast fraggos the target. Just in case, it also has an impact fuse. Not that it needs one. Now, I don't know about you, but I don't know any plane that can survive getting a belly shot like that while traveling at 300 MPH or so (Or faster.. 500 knots) and not come apart in the slipstream over it's own skin. To all the others out there.. assume the lotus position. Repeat mantra of 'wiring fault' until well brainwashed.
