So a suicide drone with a small jet engine?

Impressive it is cheaper at 10k than the Shaheds which allegedly go for 15-30k and use a moped engine. But I am not sure if this counts as a missile which normally use solid fuel.

Its a drone with a pulse jet and a small warhead. It's basically a modern V1 production run. Being how pulse jets work I wouldn't be that suprised to learn two cycle engines are more expensive.
