Still close enough to cause gimbal to stutter for a split of a second, but it’s quite delicate piece of technology and pressure wave from the missile can cause that quite far away. I suppose mavic is a too small target for that system.
I’m not an expert by any stretch, but I’d assume that radar signature for a cellphone with propellers is a bit different than a 4 meter long steel sewer pipe packed with explosives.

True. If the proximity fuse had exploded it might have taken out the drone.

Supposedly these things are able to target and hit HIMARs missiles, so a Mavic sized drone shouldn’t be a problem for it.
What Russia say and what Russia do are very different, however.
