/diy/ - Do It Yourself

They used to fly pic related. Fixed wing, single motor in the back. But after they spent the initial batch, I think they abandoned this design because I haven't seen them in use for months.
They switched to a Lancet-3 drone which has 4 wings and a single motor in the back.
>The Lancet has a rather unusual shape. Two pairs of X-shaped wings are installed at the front and rear of the fuselage. It’s powered by an electric motor that drives a two-bladed propeller located at the rear. The standard version has a maximum range of 40 km and an endurance of around 40 minutes.

It's a really weird design but you can't argue with the effectiveness and success they've had with them. I've even seen a video of it successfully trailing and attacking a fast-moving armored SAM system.

I wonder why no one else has tried this "double X wing" design.

I guess they settled on DJI Mavic with grenades (commercially made, cheap, good optics), Lancet-3 for armored targets, and these Chimera7 quads with mortars are the new type they're fielding and trying out.
