By the way, the MD 550 engine itself is sold even on AliExpress, and given the sub-sanctions of Iran, most likely, all other components of the drone are also civilian.

One way to keep development and parts costs down!

(Has Iran gobbled up the US vehicle chip manufacturing process?)

The main chip the thing would use is a controller chip which is a 50 - 100 usd item on HobbyKing I’d imagine... Other components the thing would need would be similarly inexpensive. The only thing which is not civilian parts in the picture would be the warhead,probably about 50 - 100 lbs of C4 or some such. Probably about like a target taking a direct hit from from a 120mm shell or thereabouts. They claim those things are causing the ukies all manner of grief...
