The use of AI equipped loitering munitions is just claimed, not confirmed by anything. Autonomous direct action via AI object detection is a controversial argument, illegal by EU and US directives as they fall in the definition of Autonomous Lethal Weapons, raising lots of ethical, reliability and responsibility issues. I know probably russians couldnt care less but i still hope they are just claiming it, not really doing it.

There would be some semi-autonomous more probably - just a precautions against jamming. Often, jamming occurs when the drone gets near the target (because the jamming device is close to the target). So, in the semi-autonomous mode, the operator highlights the target and when drone is near the target and jammed, it would still be able to continue and hit the (even moving) target. Note: Storm Shadow missiles and some others have similar technology.
