There was recent news about drone that could carry full sized movie camera. Price was few thousands for the drone.

If you go handgrenade size, the drone costs just bit over 100$.

A frag grenade costs something like $30 (and that's with military procurement overhead that would also raise the drone price to $300; mass produced third world grenades cost $5-$10 to their armies); a detonator, explosives and ballbearings for a DIY modification to that drone would be much cheaper.

Anti-tank shaped explosive charge would be hundreds of dollars but again, a fraction of the drone cost.

If the drone system is capable of aiming, you might want to try this wrinkle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosively_formed_penetrator
