Smaller payloads are often custom made, it’s not a stretch to make a bigger one also especially considering that it’s a thing that already happened previously. I’ve seen video of Ukrainians melting TNT out of mortar shells (it can be done with hot water) to put it in lighter, custom made drone payloads, surely there’s a supply of TM-62s or loose explosives to use in this way
otoh sounds like a good thing, because it suggests that 155mm projectile supply is adequate
Yep they just have a lot of shells on hand and it’s obviously more work to safely dissect it than put a bigger drone on top.
Optimizing drone payloads is a problem to solve when you’re in peacetime and have years to rework the supply chain.
