The ManPad just got a little confused. Giant tank of gasoline or little drone moving at high speed look identical.
My guess is the drone flying toward the smoke from the fire completely masked it's signature to the trailing ManPad. The ManPad went looking for another faint heat signature and found the tank.
So the epic lid flip was self-inflicted. Impressive.

Not very well.
it didn't look so small. more like a cruise missile
Can you imagine being the soldier who pulled the trigger on that one? Oof
