Is a motion detector good enough to track targets of just a few pixels? With a moving camera? This is super-hard!

My tracker tries to track a Eurofighter Typhoon doing some maneuvers. But the fighter is too far away sometimes, appearing only as a dot on the screen. Can a motion detector keep track with scattered, formless, jagged clouds on the background?
