Did you change launcher after a salvo?
(We not used to expell all missiles from the same one, if we have other ready.)

It might be a bug, or natural limitation of the Neva system.
The missile has 4s unguided acceleration phase, and the SNR has quite a narrow fixed missile capture beam, so if it is turning during launch, it can be a "NE ZAHVAT" (loose) the missile.

During 78 days of Operation Allied Force, the 3/250rd PVO fired on 7 target expelling 13 V-601 missiles. (one was not started at all)
From the 13 launched missiles, 2 had "NE ZAHVAT", so only 11 was guiding.
They had 21% (3 from 14) of non performing missile during the war.

Their close defense launched...
3 9K32M Strela-2 (SA-7B)
1 RL-4M [R-60 AA-8] missile on ground launcher
1 R-73E (AA-11) missile on ground launcher
... IR missiles also.
