The best I've managed to find out:
Ukraine has shoulder launched STARStreak 1 (although there has been several revisions of 1)
I believe this system requires an operator to point at the target, however you can consider it to be "wireless wire guided", it has rear facing optical sensors looking at the laser energy emitted by the CLU.
So like any SACLOS system, it's un-jammable, flight time to 1km out is 600ms. So once the trigger is pulled, that's it, near instantaneous death.
People have a bit of a Hollywood image in their head, but Mach 4 is ludicrous speed, even 3km out is still under 2 seconds, there's not really any "tracking" involved, the target barely moves in that time, let alone traverses the 'targeting grid'
The fancy versions, TLL, Thor etc
They have automated target identification and tracking, you just delegate.
I would have thought that would be a much better idea but oh well.
