The compact missiles are the new threat in the hands of the military.

The new small missiles that Ukraine developed are the new tools for the military. First, those missiles are meant to destroy drones. But that can be a new type of threat to all targets on the battlefield and behind it. 

In the Scifi novel, "Dr. Adder" the writer, JW Jetter" introduced the anti-personnel miniature missiles. Those missiles can turn real sooner than we ever imagined. The new microchip technology, combined with AI is the tool that can make it possible to attack individual targets by using supersonic aircraft. 

The idea of those small missiles is that they will use similar AI-based image-homing systems as Javelin. 

Those missiles can be dangerous for small vehicles. 

Those new missiles can take out even individual persons. Their optical seeker recognizes the target and then the missiles home into it. 

Attackers can use small-size missiles to break things like aircraft windshields. 

They can make holes in the aircraft's wings. Because the system uses rockets that small drones can carry the quadcopter must only go in the right distance to the target.

The quadcopter can use that missile against aircraft, and chemical factories. The missile is far faster than quadcopters and the copter can shoot it from a distance. The same system. That is effective against slow drones.

 Is ineffective against those missiles. 

Those missiles are far faster than quadcopters and harm things like electric wires and electronics like communication antennas and radars. The quadcopter can also be a kamikaze tool that can follow its missile. 

Those missiles are making it possible that quite soon even intercontinental ballistic missiles can shoot individual persons. 

From thousands of kilometers. Those missiles can be mounted in quadcopters.

They can make the SciFi horror true sooner than we imagine. Those miniature missiles can make it possible to destroy light-armored targets like snipers. The personal body armor protects people quite well against rifle bullets. The new full-body armors make it necessary to create new systems that can penetrate those things. Those targets can also be combat robots that can also be equipped with titanium armor. Those robots are small and they need very fast reactions.
