And that's why you always pack a clean pair of underwear.

Oopsie poopsie!
First question. Why carelessly throwing an explosive thing like a bag of potatoes.
Probably just muscle memory for throwing empty tubes for a couple years.
My guess is this one was a 'dud' and was being swapped out. Careless and dangerous, but not that far from understandable
They are so lucky the manufacturer of those AT4 missiles are competent Swedes.
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?
I think you’re right. Good find.
All good points, but I still don't want to be in front of it honestly
or behind it - backblast area all clear!
That would qualify as a butt clench moment
Guess someone should have looked up instructions for a hangfire....
