Video of a Ukrainian anti-aircraft team using the British Starstreak system to take out a Russian attack helicopter. The UK has supplied the Starstreak system to Ukrainian troops to counter the Russian air-threat. I've never heard or seen this system before but it looks very advanced & deadly. Apparently users must train on a simulator system & get 1,000 hits before they're allowed to fire a live-missile. What does everyone else think of the video?

Dead meat. No survivors. Ukraine is becoming a proving ground for relatively new weapons.

Found it. From business insider.
“ Although British operators had planned to spend two to three weeks intensively training Ukrainian troops, its use this week suggests that soldiers have learned how to use it in just one or two weeks, the paper said.”

Our old Stinger system is like 1970s - 1980s technology. The UK system is far newer & better, but also much more expensive.

I read a comparison to our Stinger, it’s far better. But, the extensive training wasn’t mentioned.
