Don't Air-to-Air missiles already do this? (fire and forget)

What does fire and forget even mean? That the missile follows its target automatically and you dont have to think about it anymore?
Interesting, then the only difference between an „autonomous killer drone“ supposedly uncovered by the UN and a plain and simple fight jet missile is...the duration of the flight of the drone vs the missile?
But then perhaps a missile like an ICBM would take longer than the drone here took? So perhaps even that differentiator does not work.

Fire and forget means it requires no more input/information from whatever fired it. The benefit is that the platform that launched it is free to do other things.

Perhaps a notable difference would be the civilians that could come into proximity of the target from the point of deploying to the point of executing.

Beyond visual range engagements require powerful radar that cannot fit in the missile itself. The missile can only navigate the last leg of it's journey without relying on external information.
> Logistics convoys and retreating HAF were subsequently hunted down and remotely engaged by the unmanned combat aerial vehicles or the lethal autonomous weapons systems such as the STM Kargu-2 (see annex 30) and other loitering munitions. The lethal autonomous weapons systems were programmed to attack targets without requiring data connectivity between the operator and the munition: in effect, a true “fire, forget and find” capability. The unmanned combat aerial vehicles and the small drone intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capability of HAF were neutralized by electronic jamming from the Koral electronic warfare system.47
