Heavy soldiers usually have a 90% chance when shooting a rocket; or 0% if you try an impossible shoot. So far all my rockets have impacted where they are supposed to, but eventually they will fail. So I have some doubts:
- What happens when rocket fails?
- Where will it land?
- Is it possible to have a friendly fire incident?
- Will enemy rockets fail?
- Can they have friendly fire incidents?

When the shots fail, the rocket will launch in a random trajectory and detonate if it hits something. Typically the direction the rocket heads will still be in the general vincinity of the original intended target. This CAN cause friendly fire.
Once you obtain the blaster launcher, your rockets will no longer be able to miss (on top of causing more damage) as they become guided rockets instead.
As for enemy rockets, the only ones that use a similar system are the EXALT agents. I suppose theoretically they can miss too but typically I don't give them a chance to use their rocket on me so I have limited experience and I've never seen one fail yet.
