Accuracy under interference is made possible through the use of artificial intelligence. Each aircraft has a terminal computer with satellite and terrain data. Flights are determined in advance with our allies, and aircraft follow the flight plan to allow us to hit targets with meters of precision. Unidentified source explains to CNN how AI drones work
