Probably. Drone looks like that from the wiki (no name mentioned): https://ru.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A4%D0%B0%D0%B9%D0%BB:UA_military_FPV_drones_10.jpg

i understand that these are mass manufactured 7" drones made from standard components. commercial cloverleaf antenna, motors + blades, frames are sometimes bought and sometimes 3d-printed. battery pack, electronics, and of course payload are custom. there are also drones that use completely nonstandard bands for control and video, this is useful against jammers and if you're printing your own boards, changing bands to something weird takes zero effort
