The "Yolka" interceptor drone did not receive a standard warhead due to weight limitations. According to the authors of the "Razrabotchik BPLA" Telegram channel, the drone's payload capacity is too small to install a full-fledged munition.

The VOG-25 was proposed as a possible warhead for the "Yolka", but the weight of this munition turned out to be too great for the device.
The "Yolka" initially uses a different engagement principle: the device targets an aerial object and destroys it by direct collision. This approach has already been confirmed by publications on the use of the interceptor, with the absence of a warhead being cited as one of its key design features.
At the same time, a non-standard option with an additional charge is technically possible, but its mass is directly limited by the drone's payload capacity.
Earlier reports of attempts to adapt the "Yolka" for additional destructive action can be found in open sources, but the specific parameters of such solutions have not been officially disclosed.
