Regardles of the technical challenges, I think part of the problem with a potential 7-drone-7 would be the PR fallout from mis-targetting. At the moment Russia, and to a lesser extent Ukraine, are suffering a percentage of missiles/artillery/bombs which are striking civiian buildings, whether due to inadequate care in targetting, deliberate intent, or premature encounters with air-defences.

However tragic the consequences for civilians receiving an unexpected Kinzhal, the outrage rarely persists in public consciousness beyond a day or 2. The image of a flak-damaged, explosive-laden, airliner flying into a high-rise however is going to remain like, well, you know .....
