There was a relatively recent report that stated you could DIY a fairly sophisticated “battle” drone for a few hundred dollars that has similar capabilities to the drones being used in Ukraine.
You need access to explosives for this. The attempts to mount guns on drones have not been successful to my knowledge. The “Dragon” flamethrower drone has shown some success, but that’s more about flushing people out of treelines etc so explosive dropping drones, kamikaze drones, or traditional munitions become more effective.
In short, yeah one would at least need access to grenades or other explosives.
Ukraine’s doing really well on drones vs tanks

Maybe this is the real reason for the tariffs?
