It would be a bit more impressive if they were regular sized KD-10s, but it's a start.
For that you’d need WL-3.
Well, my overall point is that loadout isn't too impressive.

Loading UAVs with micro munitions has some tactical utility as well as marketing benefits, but we should also be realistic as to what is actually impressive and what isn't.

This picture is taken publicity poster (PAF calendar 2024).

For WL-3 in PAF, sooner or later news will be pop-up ;) .

Inter-swarm cooperation.

Below is an illustration from a product brochure. If I'm reading this correctly, it depicts a scenario in which two drone swarms cooperate with each.
– The swarm on the right is a recon swarm specializing in low-altitude/close-in reconnoitering. The swarm can automatically reconfigure itself should certain nodes be taken out of action.
– The swarm on the left is made of high-speed attack drones/loitering munitions capable of automatic target designation, destruction, and damage assessment.
– The two swarms can communication with each other as well as with command vehicles, ground troops, and ground recon elements to coordinate attacks.
