About the Weapon:
The FIM-43 Redeye is a shoulder-fired, infrared homing surface-to-air missile system designed to track and engage low-flying aircraft. In West German service it was designated the Fliegerfaust 1 and issued to infantry units as a short-range air-defence measure. Lightweight and portable, Redeye teams could be rapidly deployed to cover likely air avenues of approach or to shield armoured formations from close air attack.
In-Game Role:
In World War III: Team Yankee, the Fliegerfaust 1 Gruppe provides short-range air-defence, intercepting enemy aircraft and reducing the effectiveness of air strikes against your units. Deploy them to protect high-value assets or to bolster forward units against aerial harassment.
