Starstreak is not technically a MANPADs but is a platform that can be used for air defence radar shield systems and can also be used on MANPADs. So it can be used at several layers of air defence systems. As a MANPADs it can be used on low level aircraft but as part of a larger system it could be used on fast moving incoming targets as the effectiveness of the system will not actually be the rocket itself but the radar and guidance system. High speed missile systems can be great for attacks but their one weakness will be their high thermal signal which will make them stand out like a large swollen sore thumb.

For young children in their bed at home it could be the lifesaving thing that stops a missile or aircraft from targeting their home. i hope that helps and soothes you.

@mrahira The war with the taliban was over very quickly as they were crushed and had to flee into Pakistan and hide. I hope you are not confusing the terrorist attacks made on your children with real fighting.

When combined with space saturation and radar warfare it could be a lethal air defence system.

@StevenSmith-mk5fg While it is true that fast missiles can be difficult to take down they like all other missiles leave a thermal signature that makes them stand out.
