For the HE warhead, yes.
For the cluster/submunition warhead, in theory, no.
As far as I am aware, cluster/submunition carrying devices only operate mid air, and not on impact. Since their purpose is to spread stuff.
At some point the part just behind the nose, containing the cluster munitions, would open mid-flightand spread the submunitions.
Once it is done, the Tochka has pretty much served its purpose and will continue its flight until it hits the ground. It would pretty much behave like "cluster-dispensers" fired from BM21/27/30 etc...
Schematically wise, it would look like a plane dropping a bomb, or a CBU. Though a CBU, once its submunitions dispersed, does not leave much in term of wreck.
Unfortunately the in-flight behavior of Russian ordinances is poorly documented, and/or very hard to come by.

15 minute video of UKR setting up an ambush with ATGM and 50 cal.
I think a shorter video of the end was posted here but here's a longer version.
Long distance engagements in the steppe (good optics come in handy)

Incidentally, since that video from livemap is being refurbished, the vehicles are not Russian 9P129/M/M1s, but Belorussian BAZ5937s.
Also, and just to put an end to the "yes but Russia operates Tochka-U anyway" thing. No. it does not anymore.
The Military Balance, 2021, recognized leader in assessment of global military capabilities (published by IISS) confirms Russia doesn't have any OTR21 Tochka-U SS21 "Scarab" in service. Ukraine, though, does.
Finding that document back was a real pain by the way...

If they have everything in that area then lets hope the Ukr keep killing it

New Bayraktar UAVs Spotted In Ukraine
The artillery of Russia and the Servicemen of the People's Militia began to use propaganda shells in Mariupol at the Azovstal combine. 122-mm propaganda shells 1AZH instead of the warhead are filled with passes and leaflets for the voluntary surrender of servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Propaganda leaflets are placed in steel half-cylinders of shells.
The S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were destroyed by the strikes of high-precision weapons of Russia. The coordinates of the location of the S-300 air defense system of Ukraine were established with the help of electronic intelligence
Slovak media reported that Slovakia handed over to Ukraine as a military aid its only division of the Soviet-made S-300PMU anti-aircraft missile system. The transfer of the S-300PMU SAM occurred on the condition that the Western Allies would supply new air defense systems as compensation. According to media reports, instead of the C-300s that have left Ukraine, American Patriot air defense systems will take over combat duty in Slovakia.
The United States announced the supply of new Switchblade kamikaze drones to Ukraine. Despite the jubilation that has gripped individual representatives of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Russian air defense, which was confirmed by the practice of special operations in Ukraine, confidently strikes the UAV of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Switchblade drone is available in two versions, anti-personnel and anti-tank.

Slovakia entered the 1990´s with some 1000 T55 and T72´s but most were sold to Algeria and Indonesia at very defavorable conditions...(well not for everyone) so there is nothing to add to the Czech delivery of T72´s.

That's a pretty good deal.
Is it known which variant of the Patriot Slovakia will get? Is it an "exchange", or will Slovakia have to balance the difference?
