>The anti tank guided missile designers of 50+ years ago would find this rather obvious.
TOW missiles are specifically mentioned in the article as an example of this technology being in active use for decades (and particularly, right now in Ukraine)
- Muromec 2y agoUkrainian Stugna-P is fly by wire and was actively used in 2022.
- morkalork 2y agoStugna is laser guided, no?
- H8crilA 2y agoYeah, a beam-rider, doesn't have a fiber optic cable like the TOW. There was some cool footage early on in the war where a skilled Ukrainian Stugna-P operator pointed the beam just off of an enemy helicopter (or maybe some armored vehicle, but I think it was a helicopter), then corrected to the target at the last moment. This gave as little warning as possible to the crew of the helicopter via their illumination sensors. Very skilful.
