We just don't know..

Keep in mind, Specialised spy drones are hard to intercept. And comparing the normal potato quality footage to this footage, it's probably not just another drone.

The fact they used an Iskander, combined with the drone, this was most likely a dedicated kill team. The launchers could have been spotted by infiltrators, traitors.. dumb luck does seem unlikely due to the rapid response.
