The drones reportedly flew from their containers to the staging area autonomously, where they were taken over by the pilots for the attack approach.
I've had that happen to the company I work at and we literally have zero AI stuff.
AI gets so much boost from this nonsense. Because now it's about saving our lives.
You can also see the careful departure of drones from containers in the videos, without extra panning or yaw. Not quite how a human operator would fly them.
"ArduPilot can handle tasks like stabilizing a drone in the air while the pilot focuses on moving to their next objective. Pilots can switch them into loitering mode, for example, if they need to step away or perform another task, and it has failsafe modes that keep a drone aloft if signal is lost."
So it is not fully autonomous.
