Shahed-136 series
An Iranian-designed powered munition of the type often known as a one-way-attack (OWA) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), or drone, with an estimated range of 1,000–2,000 km. It is 3.5 metres in length, has a 2.5-metre wingspan, and is capable of carrying a range of warheads weighing up to 50kg. It uses both GNSS and inertial navigation for guidance and typically acts as a pseudo-missile, flying towards pre-programmed coordinates before exploding on impact. It is used extensively in the Middle East and Ukraine, with Russia producing a copy of the Iranian Shahed-136 known as the Geran-2. Larger than the Shahed-131, the 136 is primarily identifiable by its vertical wing stabilisers, which extend both above and below the delta-wing assembly.

Analyst Note:
Honeycomb-like internal structures are often used in aerospace applications to provide rigidity with reduced weight, and are sometimes constructed using materials which reduce radar cross-section by absorbing or scattering electromagnetic waves. (ARES)
