Judging by the shape of the fuselage of the front part, the rear tail part, the stabilizers, the rear rudder and the shape of the attachment of the wings to the fuselage of the "UAV" that attacked Alabuga resembles a Ukrainian-made Aeroprakt A-22 aircraft.

There's a long and sad history of weaponozing civilian aircraft. From Swiss "civilian" planes with ready to transform pilons to Cessnas that can fire rockets against "insurgents".

And if all fails, you can haphazardly drop barrel bombs from pretty much anything with wings and a door.

The innovation is slapping drone controls on a plane that allow for both remote and pre programmed flight. Something tested in many combinations since WW2 and made much more reliable and cheaper with newer tech.
