Tech hobbyist makes shoulder-mounted guided missile prototype with $96 in parts

A tech hobbyist named Alisher Khojayev built a shoulder-mounted guided missile prototype using a 3D printer and $96 worth of parts, including ESP32 microprocessors, GPS, and inertial measurement units. The system features Wi-Fi guidance, ballistic calculations, and an optional camera node tracking system. At roughly 5,000 times cheaper than a military Stinger MANPADS ($480,000), the project highlights the expanding capabilities of consumer-grade 3D printing and electronics.
