Ukrainian military created a kamikaze drone without waiting for MQ-1C Gray Eagle deliveries

Ukrainian military did not wait for the United States to unfreeze drone supplies MQ-1C Gray Eagle  (pictured above) and decided to create a drone themselves.

What we know

Ukrainians managed to develop a kamikaze drone, which is launched using a catapult and can carry explosives. The launcher was also made manually.

Naturally, there is no information about its technical characteristics. How much explosives an unmanned aerial vehicle can carry, how long it can stay in the air, and how much it costs to build it is unknown.

Yes, there are no missiles Hellfire here, as in MQ-1 Gray Eagle, but even if the Russian military can shoot it down, they will definitely not get access to "innovative Western technologies".
