Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets:

For those who do not quite understand the video, I will explain a little,
"Shell" works according to Hymers. An air defense missile explodes next to the missile that needs to be shot down, and already knocks down the missile with fragments. The video shows how the air defense missile explodes, and the black cloud appears in a different place. Most likely, the "Shells" work in parallel with the cannon.
I remember that at first it was possible to shoot down one or two missiles from a salvo (that's six missiles). But the indicators of successful air defense work gradually grew. They began to shoot down four to five missiles out of six. The Chimeras began to work in pairs, firing double volleys in the hope of overloading the air defense.
And now we see the complete interception of a volley of two cars. This is exactly what the skill of our military.
P.S.
According to rumors, comparative tests of the "Shell" and "Thor" were carried out
There were no reports on the web. There were only rumors that Thor won the field tests. In Syria in Khmenim, again, according to rumors, Thor performed better in repelling massive attacks by artisanal UAVs.
But in Ukraine, when repelling mass shelling of MLRS and against Tochki-U, the Pantsir began to show itself superbly.
In general, I have the opinion that the Tor is better suited against a massive UAV raid (and, of course, when covering troops on the march), and the Pantsir is better against rockets (after all, it was originally created for these tasks as well).
