literally any component being hit besides a glancing blow to the frame fucks it in some way
>hit to the motor jams the motor, possibly bends the shaft, fucks the motor
>hit to the motor wires severs it, 1/3 wires being severed no longer allows the ESC to control it
>hit to the ESC disables the motor just as surely as the previous two
>solid hit to the frame breaks it
>hit to a propeller blade doesn't instakill the drone, but it causes terrible vibrations that turn the video feed to soup and make the controls feel funky
>hit to the FPV camera or video transmitter cuts the video out, drone operators usually do not go within line of sight of their target so this effectively turns the drone into a dumb bomb that will fall in a random direction
>hit to the flight controller is instant lights out, every other component talks to the FC and it's like hitting the brain of an animal
>hit to any of the multiple antennas on a drone will cut out or severely degrade the control link and/or video feed
>hit to the battery causes voltage to rapidly drop, giving the drone seconds of controlled flight left
the only saving grace of a suicide FPV is it usually has a big warhead on the bottom, which may or may not protect many of the electronics in the middle but the rest is fair game
