There was some cool footage early on in the war where a skilled Ukrainian Stugna-P operator pointed the beam just off of an enemy helicopter (or maybe some armored vehicle, but I think it was a helicopter), then corrected to the target at the last moment. This gave as little warning as possible to the crew of the helicopter via their illumination sensors. Very skilful.
