ِDidn't knew Mohajer 6 had parachute . but at least one thing is good and that's Sadid bomb, this accident show that the body and design of the bomb is strong enough to tolerate such crash and don't blow up.The UAV has parachutes that was deployed so it came down vertically and the reason for all the damage you see is because it hit the ground much harder than it should of! so either the parachute sucks or it was deployed far too late to slow descent.
And I'm pretty sure they weren't aiming to land it at school with live ordinance onboard even on a Friday!!!!!!!! At altitude a UAV like this can easily glide from one end of Zahedan to the other end and land in an empty field!!!!! so if the pilot had control of the thing at a sufficient altitude the pilot would have just glide it out to an empty field or to Zahedan Airport!
My best guess is the UAV either had engine problems or hit something shortly after takeoff which caused it to stall or spin out of control before it had gained sufficient altitude & parachute was deployed far too late to have an effect.
It's also possible that the pilot took too sharp of a turn that caused the UAV to tip over and due to the low powered engines of these type of UAV's regaining control would be next to impossible but it would be the job of Qods Aviation to prevent such things from happening although wind can also become a factor and cause you to tip over during turns.
But that's all speculation without knowing exactly where that school is located I wouldn't be able to give a better speculation as to what may have happened!
And if the Schools in Zahedan are anything like most schools in Tehran then they look relatively similar to house or a small size apartment building with an external Parking lot big enough to hold ~12 cars comfortably! So what I can tell you is that they just got lucky that it landed in a School on a Friday because from the damage shown it's quite clear they didn't have much control over where it was going to crash!!!!
