I'm 99% sure that's a massive hole in the port side wing. Probably some gopnik taking pot shots with his original run Mosin

That's what I thought at first, but the square shape of the hole and the damage to the leading edge seems more like it struck a tree or pole. The wings are just fiberglass with wood framing so it's plausible the compressive force could snap the fiberglass along the framing. The torque from that collision could also cause the damage to the opposite wing.

Also, I imagine the operator would detonate the warhead if they were still in control while the drone went down, which leads me to believe it was jammed.
