The drone doesn't look stabilized here and the missile lock needs to be acquired by directly pointing the missile at the target.

There's plenty of angle though something like 40 degrees, this isn't like a video game. It can also take a designated target from the pilot, in this case the drone controller.

Someone below says that isn't really needed with the tracking missle?

This missile has 40 degrees off bore tracking and can take information from the vehicle it's mounted on. Basically that helicopter never had a chance.

Depends on the missile
