most of the time no, the point is to cut tracks and that can be done with regular box of explosives. there's a couple of types that use efp, or are basically a trap with rpg, but it's not it

basically a trap with rpg

You're thinking of a directed mine like the German DM12 PARM 1, but e.g. the Soviet TM-72 has a shaped charge and lies flat on the ground. However, it seems the drone is equipped with a half of a TM-62 (Thanks @fist_of_fartitude@sh.itjust.works) which is explosive-only without a shaped charge.
