I’m m curious as to how that cardboard drone could cause significant damage. What are the munitions involved? Fire starter? Pin point targeting?

Probably by ingestion into a jet engine... Just a guess.

My understanding is they can carry 2.2 to 5kg of explosives that is plenty if it hits the jets, plus have seen video of Ukrainian drone exploding over a target and raining down shrapnel like an air Burt’s artillery round

With that you can easily disable a plane if not outright destroy it

The story is bullcrap as there is no evidence of it took place, which is the case for most Ukrainian claims of late.

I’m curious how those things can fly over 100km, much less actually hit a target. Or were they launched by sabotage teams hanging out at the end of the runway?

the explosive sends shrapnel over the selected section of the plane, riddling it with holes, unless crashed into a particular section when detonating, causing irreparable damage or fire.
