The obvious question is how effective at carrying small improvised explosives is it?

Pretty sure "fancy camera quadcopter" is the wrong quadcopter to be using in a warzone where things tend to get blown up.

Perhaps, unless those fancy cameras improve targeting capabilities in a meaningful way

This is a class too big for that, you're better off with a Mavic or even a Mini for lower cost, better stealth and simpler one-man operation.

My experience with DJI drones is that once you put anything on them, the tuning of their flight controllers leads to substantially worse flight times, stability, and overall safety.

I know the Mini 3 can carry a naked GoPro without struggling too much, so a mavic might be able to carry a couple hundred grams with decent performance. But the flight characteristics go out the window pretty quickly, so I suspect you couldn’t carry much explosives on these things.

I have no idea how much is needed. Maybe a small amount is fine.

Allow me to introduce the machine gun carrying drone used in Ukraine:
