Unlikely. The Milan has a 400-meter minimum range, and this event took place in a built-up area where a 400 meter shot is just about impossible.

Uh, is there something about Hackworth's description that makes your skin crawl?

Then you must mean maximum range....

But if you look at the location of the hit (center mass), that is indicative of a stand off shot. Operators are trained to aim for center mass. A close in shot from an RPG would probably go for a mobility kill (take out the engine, or rear sprocket) instead of going for the well protected crew compartment.
