I don't know very much about the Hellfire but quite a few guided missiles are WAY off target trajectory upon initial firing and only zero in on the target late in the trajectory.ANNNNNNND it's approximately 30 air miles direct from old Ft. Harrison to Richmond Hill subdivision. That would be quite a "deflection" - in fact, that would be a science fiction deflection.
Look at the Javelin shoulder-fired missiles. They exit the launcher, make a steep ascent, then drop out of the sky. If the missile is jammed during the steep ascent part it could very easily end up 30+ miles from it's intended target.
While I realize we're comparing apples to oranges here, the mechanism by which they work is related.
