"Rheinmetall recently unveiled a multi-purpose unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with reconnaissance and combat features.
The Rheinmetall Combat Drone is based on the German arms maker’s Luna NG reconnaissance drone and can carry the Hero-R type loitering munition."

In simple terms, we have the first (?) drone which can carry & drop other drones, or - more accurately - "loitering munitions."
FF to about 1:42 for video (German text & Ukrainian commentary, but you'll get the drift):
