Which term would be associated with mobile air defense using shoulder-fired missiles?

• A. Motorized stinger unit
• B. AAV
• C. Riverine assault craft unit
• D. Fixed wing attack

Answer: (A)

Mobile air defense with shoulder-fired missiles centers on man-portable air defense systems. The Stinger missile is the classic shoulder-fired option that can be carried by a soldier or mounted on a light vehicle, giving units the ability to engage aircraft while on the move. A motorized stinger unit represents exactly this capability—mobility combined with shoulder-fired air defense.

The other options describe different capabilities: an amphibious assault vehicle is designed for land-sea operations, riverine assault craft units operate on waterways, and fixed-wing attack involves aircraft delivering strikes. None of these provide the portable, on-the-move air defense that shoulder-fired missiles offer.
