    Those aren’t AT4’s. I’m not sure what that platform is but definitely not AT4.

    You don’t have to worry too much in those type of misfire situations as long as you aren’t in the direct path of the missile. Most munitions in that form factor have a minimum arming distance of a few dozen to hundred meters, so even if he hit the truck it probably wouldn’t explode.

      I think it’s a Ukrainian RK-3 “Corsair” ATGM. You can see the RK-3K marking there, suggesting it’s a tandem-charge HEAT warhead. I’m guessing the first one malfunctioned and didn’t launch, but was probably already primed for it?
