Can't get the site to load, but I gather they're talking about the Skydio X10 drone?
That doesn't seem like the type of drone you'd want on an active battlefield. A war drone should be like an AK47. Simple reliable and cheap.
You don't need a $15,000 drone to tell you there's a T-90 tank waiting for you around the next corner. Some of the simple drones Ukraine has are just a circuit board with four propellers a battery and a cheap phone camera directly attached to the board. When (not if) it's shot down, grab another one.
Can I get a $15k drone that removes the T-90 from around the corner?
Best I can do is a Predator for $3mil.
