I dont care enough to continue arguing about this. Im merely explaining why quadrocopters very likely didnt appear in game ever since they were tested in event.
If you want them, be my guest.

that shell has 51mm pen and 28g of explosive, the loitering munition probably has much more than 28g explosive and is supposed to perform with at least 60mm pen which is superior to the shell you mention, the VOG-30 grenades from bmp2m can already destroy light vehicles such as anti air or open tops and these have 3.3mm of penetration and 64g of explosive power, there are many vehicles in high tiers with barely any protection and many weakspots that can be exploited, there’s also vehicles with exposed munitions that could be triggered by this and cause major damage indirectly
I really doubt a single VOG-30 can kill an SPAA
If you have any examples of it happening, please feel free to share

hahah
but this post is not about vog 30, why are you people against the qn506 loitering munition, the vehicle itself performs really poorly because it lacks what makes it unique and these things were meant to be used by this platform so its not unrealistic or something i made up, i think it would benefit from this addition since theres so many inconsistences with it that make a unique concept mediocre because of mediocre implementation, chinese HQ11 was also nerfed on purpose since it has no access to the CIWS that was meant to defend it from stuff getting into the blind zone of it’s missile for instance

Oh hey it can overpressure a chaparral, wahoo xD
you asked if it could destroy AA with a single shot and there it is
now if you want another example there’s also the bm-8-24, its rocket is not very powerful on it’s original BR bcoz even through its tier 1 there are vehicles with a somewhat decent armor in comparison to modern SPAA and some IFV
rocket weights 7,92kg, has 9mm of penetration and 600g of explosive, the loitering munition probably has more explosive considering it uses a more efficient technique to propel itself
this rocket is not very competent against armor but at certain high tier there’s a lot of light targets that it is able to destroy, if these things with much worse penetration than the helicopter shell you mention can destroy modern platforms i dont see why loitering munition couldnt provide some grade of usefulness

I honestly forgot the chaparrals existed
You are not considering that the 570 has a camera, antennas, avionics and control electronics, wings, servos, batteries, a motor and propeller as well as a shaped charge warhead
Lancet-1 weights 5kg ~ 1kg warhead and its more than capable of destroying light vehicles or tank external components tracks, optics, ERA blocks, etc
I really doubt a 1kg warhead can do much damage
Keep in mind, 1kg warhead does not mean it has 1kg of tnt
theres also explosive types that are more powerful than others with less amount of substance so you could get more than 1 kg tnt power with less than 1 kg of substance
also if you hit the exposed weaponry of lets say a pantsyr with 700g of explosive the munitions can blow up in a chain reaction causing much more explosive damage than the warhead you used, i remember footage of a guy detonating an abandoned S300 with a single AK round by the same principle and it wasnt anti tank 14,5mm it was a regular machinegun round, the same thing would happen to other vehicles with exposed missile
The only issue they ever fixed is that the QN-506 no longer dies to unextinguishable fires. Now you just sit there with an unextinguishable fire because it blocks repair.
