The cardboard structure reduces the cost of a plastic/fiber fuselage and wings, but that’s not a major part of the cost of a drone, if it is mass-produced.

The cost of the guidance system, power pack, battery and warhead are more significant.

There was an article about the Australians producing and sending them to the Ukraine. I think the cost was about $5K per drone.
