I hate to break it to you, but any UAV with wings is an RC plane.

That one actually looks like a hobby RC plane that has been repainted.

not just repainted - it’s got duct tape and rubber bands like it’s had it’s share of rough landings.

this is hilarious to look at

And pretty common state for the Orlan, a few captured earlier in the war weren’t in much better shape. Seems to be SOP in the Russian military to treat your equipment like shit.
