Too many of these critters go off link.
I am reminded of an event couple of decades ago when I was wearing fatigues for a living. On our Sheridan Tank (Official name: M-551 Armored Reconnaissance/Airborne Assault Vehicle) we were able to fire MGM-51 Shillelagh Wire Guided Missiles.

Once while on the range we fired one of these puppies off, but then fifty yards out of the gun it pulled a ACME/Wile E. Coyote left turn and seemed to zero in on a -fortunately unoccupied- hillside Outpost about five clicks away which Forward Observers would use to spot for the Field Artillery guys.

Not the event, just an example.
