        And the drone was the cause of the fire? Is it a “suicide” drone or does it drop an explosive and bail? Sorry if these are stupid questions, I’m not exactly familiar with weapons/warfare.

          Yep, suicide drone. They often have a mortar or grenade round strapped to them with a trigger that will set them off when the drone flys into something.

      They usually have 2 wires at the front. Once they touch each other due to hitting anything they trigger the detonation.

          There is a switch that actives this mechanism at whatever point the operator wants, so usually once it is away from them.
