That's one tuff little drone.

How is that possible? Seems like it self detonated in front of the drone?

Maybe that could work on crafts with more vulnerable high performance engines?

From what I understand, that's how they work, explode a flak shell near the craft.

Interesting, so you are saying the shell did exactly what it was supposed to?

I can see how that could be way more harmful for a craft at higher speed, and with engines where shrapnel would easily destroy them.

Kind of dunny how these cheap drones are much less sensitive to that kind of air air defense.
