Good luck hitting your target. With the drone even if you miss you can fly it back to safety until there is a new target too. Neither is meant for this type of combat and this case was probably just luck and an opertune target. The drone probably wasn’t launched specifically to take out the aircraft.
If the picture is accurate it would have to have crashed into it.
save a lot of money if you just have a grenade and propel it yourself
The invention of the suicide bomber (circa 2024, colourised)

Rocket-propelled drone when?
… oh god, that’s just the toon gun from Roger Rabbit. It’s a bullet that can stop and ask for directions.
That’s called a missile
Missiles are very good at the go go go but not so good at the stop.
They’ve got one way and it’s not the sort of trick you can repeat.
Didn’t rpg literally stand for rocket propelled grenade
Sadly no, it stands for “Ruchnoĭ protivotankovyĭ granatomet,” or “Hand Held Anti-tank Grenade Launcher” in English.
No, it stands for Role Playing Game. The drone was role-playing as a suicide bomber, keep up.
A true example of the action economy in combat.
LARP “fireballs” might work if delivered directly to the intake.
Yup
Kind of amazed the drone was going fast enough to trigger the impact fuse. but no propellant so couldn’t be fired
Presumably they tamper with the charge so a fast impact isn’t needed. Y’know, because what would be the point otherwise, regardless of the target.
Or maybe they hit the blades?
It’s not mutually exclusive.
I’d also assume they just flew the thing near the hovering helicopter and triggered it remotely, that would do the trick.
