A drone would work, but you would have to stomach the fact that it would be a one-way trip for each unit, otherwise it would be easily tracked.

Easily tracked how, given that the point of the flight would be to destroy the tracking devices?

You're unlikely to be able to carry enough payloads to destroy every camera cluster that witnessed the drone in flight (unless this is a drone swarm), and you need to do this from a distance to be effective. If you're close enough that it would be easy to destroy the camera, return the drone to sender (without footage of the drone's return flight), then leave, you've effectively just given a localized guess of your identity from the immediate area near the destruction.

The ideal way to do this would be similar to Ukraine's use of drones vs tanks - payload, far away operator, one device per target.
