Travelling at over three times the speed of sound each one splits into three darts to puncture armour.
. The Starstreak high-velocity portable missiles travel at over three times the speed of sound. It is also known as Starstreak HVM High Velocity Missile. Starstreak is a man-portable air-defence system MANPADS or MPADS developed by Thales Air Defence in Belfast.
The Starstreak High Velocity Missile HVM is designed to counter threats from very high performance low-flying aircraft and fast pop up strikes by helicopter attacks. HVM can be fired from the shoulder from a lightweight. The British have fielded the weapon since 1997 first mounted on an armored vehicle but more recently as a lightweight multiple-missile launcher and in shoulder-launched.
The firm describes the missiles as being designed to provide close air defence. The portable system is. After launch the missile accelerates to more than Mach 4 unreliable source making it the fastest short-range surface-to-air missile.
