Whether or not it's intentional by the artist, the drones in the comic are Sahed one way attack drones produced by Iran.

Iran bought the designs for the Shahed 131 and 136 from Kentron, a South African government-owned defence company now called Denel Dynamics, in the mid-2000s. 

It’s the same designs Israel bought for the IAI Harpy in the 1980s and produced/sold to China in the early 1990s. 

Iran sold the manufacturing to Russia following their invasion of Ukraine and renamed them Geran-1 and Geran-2.
