More and more photos are emerging from downed GMLRS missiles, used by the HIMARS systems and downed by the Pantsir-S1. Pay attention to the shrapnel holes in the front sector in the first pic. That means the fuse used in the 23Ya6 missiles are working very well, even with the extreme high relative speeds of around 2km/s between the GMLRS and the 23Ya6 missile.
Even the top tier american SAM Patriot failed here against Scuds, because the top suberb american engineers failed to consider the high relative speed involved in shooting down ballistic targets, so the patriot warhead detonated too late. Here we have a pointdef SAM downing >M3 ballistic targets on a daily basis ...
Some infos about anti ballistic missile systems and the physics involved here:
Pantsir uses command guided missiles without a own seaker in the head section, that is correct and this is the reason, why it is very cheap and ideal for mass usage. Regarding the exact guidance method, i think they can use different guidance methods.Pantsyr missile is clos guided unlike abm oriented missiles that generally use proportional navigation. Clos is like catching a bus directly running towards it. Proportional navigation is like catching the bus running slightly towards in front of the bus while looking at it your head turned towards the bus and maintaining same direction which is why the sensor is for and try to stay at the same sensor angle. Less acceleration is necessary in that type of guidance but onboard sensor is necessary. It means pantsyr missile can stand very high gs if it is also used for abm purpose or maybe a different missile is used.

Btw: another good videos regarding missile guidance methods:
Russia is making steady progress
only 50% of the NATO weapons are reaching the front line
and the ones reaching front line have a life expectancy of 7-10 days
the Soviet Steamroller is crushing eveything in its pathway inch by inch metre by metre
all the old Soviet equipment is now gone Ukraine needs to transition to the NATO weapons
this will take time and money and Ukraine has neither
so Russian will move on deeper into Ukraine
will Ukraine counter attack and take back the lands Russia has seized? I highly highly doubt it
