A question about the British army's Starsteak missiles that were mounted on Stormer APCs, together with the ADAD for target alerting. As Starstreak is a laser guided weapon that requires the operator to keep lasing the target until missile impact, how exactly does the operator in a Stormer keep lasing a fast moving target, through the sights in the vehicle? Would this not be an almost impossible task, given that the target will be flying at low level, there might be trees to obscure the target and that the target would probably only be in view for 15 seconds at the most?
