    Why do you think that? Dive bombing hits generally within a few meters, even during WW2 where it was used against tanks. Why would a guided rocket be that much better? Where would it get the target data from if it doesn’t have a human to guide it?

    Obviously, there exist guided munitions with higher accuracy (<1m) but that’s not the majority.
