Javelin? Not quite. But yes for sure with M47 Dragon systems. (Especially back then, if you killed the guy aiming the missile, the missile will almost certainly miss).

In any case, Javelin is thermal imaging and thermal smoke probably works as a countermeasure.

The speed of ATGMs is a major downside in any case, leaving room to react and for smoke countermeasures.
