Allowing it to fold a very long wing proportion to its size.
Estimates puts it around the 2.5m to 3m category.

The kamikaze drone is designed to destroy defensive fortifications. It is 2.5-3m long and equipped with folding wings. The video above shows the bomber unfolding its wings after launch.
The drone is believed to have been developed by the Northwest Polytechnic University of the People's Liberation Army of China and used to be called Peregrine. But so far, this information could not be verified.
