The moment I read your comment, I started thinking of how I would approach disarming that thing.
The answer is that it's still dangerous. Effectively it's now an IED that the enemy is watching, and is still under the enemy's control.
The camera can still see, and you have to assume it also has remote detonation control.
To disarm it by cutting the fiber optic line, you'd have to go around it, in a manner that the immobilized drone, and any other monitoring enemy drones couldn't see you.
Better just detonate it with a dropped munition, or monitor it and wait for the Russians to risk their own butts trying to retrieve it.
