The quote says RPG-7, looks like they're minus the propellant section (the stick out the back of the RPG round), which makes sense, so somewhere around 3kg? Iirc 4.5kg with the stick, which Wikipedia agrees with. The drones look quite compact but a top spec "cine" fpv drone that is a bit bigger can lift 5-6kg worth of camera for a few minutes, so it's not implausible that's they might manage 2-3, albeit they're not going to be doing power loops! See https://www.droneboy.com/fpv-drones/ for some camera examples.
