Cant be sure but think it was a reaction shot to it firing as obviosly it had not moved just appeared as readied to fire. Put him off enough that he missed & couldnt get a 2nd shot off

This is perfectly normal behaviour since SP2 came out. Firing an ATGM, a spotting unit can get a reaction shot in before the missile hits - they are slow things. This can kill the ATGM team/vehicle or suppress it to cause a miss as you saw.
