Well, it looks pretty unlikely to me that the rockets hit the truck in the case of a technical failure. Possible, but unlikely.
I'd rather think that the truck was not the target that was supposed to be shot at. One can see a tank/vehicle right under the vertical speed indicator at 0'10" that could have been the "right" target.
That could happen to any pilot, some liner pilots even tried to land on the taxiway.
Anyway, quick recovery to the wounded ones (it seems that noone died, that's a miracle).

from the beginning you can see VKLUCHI GLAVNYJ message, it means Master switch is disabled. message disappear after several seconds - pilot turns on master switch. it was about 200-300 meters to this truck at that moment, it's too late for targeting (as you know it takes several seconds), even too close to fire rockets without targeting. so truck was not the target.

after master switch enabled nothing happen, range calculator is not allowing to fire because range is too close . pilot raising nose, range to the pointer increased, PR appear - target in range. after a moment rockets firing.

I think target was away from this place 500-1000 meters, on same course. pilot prepared to engage turning master switch. but because of short cut, or maybe trigger was pressed by coincidence, rockets fired.
