They'd need a really tall tower to remotely pilot something 900 miles off with no satellite. I think autonomous flight via gps is more realistic.

The GPS and inertial gets the drone close enough. During the last stretch the Houthis have stated they have local guidance assist. The population in the area of the targets is significantly Shia, anti-KSA, and revolutionarily minded so it's not surprising this resource is available.
