I would get arrested for
a)owning an RPG
b)firing it in violation of federal law

It will fly right up your butt!
What kind of stupid question is this?

do you mean the fighter jet or wind? if you mean the plane then you couldn’t because it would be going too fast, then turn around and shoot you with a better missile. Don’t know what happens if you fire one into a tornado wind, you just "blow" (get it) some stuff up.

Is this like a secret terrorist code? Are we about to get attacked again?

It’s kind of tricky you could say that if you throw a missile in a tornado it could stop it and blow it up, and it could be risky too what happen if it’s a strong tornado and make it change directions it could really happen because on the air nothing is controlled and more if there is force around….

The main thing in either case you would have no idea where it would end up; firing a missile from a plane doesn’t have the wind problem a tornado does because the air is only from one major direction; in a tornado it should be circular and you would have idea where it would be heading when/if it came out. Entirely possible it would arm and then hit something in the funnel and go off inside. I short they launch missiles only when minimum weather conditions are met and wouldn’t do it in a tornado. An RPG could be launched into a tornado but it would not be a very bright thing to do.

Max effective range for an RPG is 300 meters, thats if you can fire it at 300 meters accurately… which means you got to get pretty damn close to hit it with precision fire.

Round and round the rpg would go where it drops nobody knows.

The original flight path would alter the destination like a missile that has lost control. Most missiles would be so fast it would look like the missile made one sharp turn and then it would go in some random direction.
