Missiles, which are essentially single use "unmanned combat air vehicles" don't hesitate to destroy whatever target they are shot at.

If these "loyal wingmen" only shoot when ordered to by a human, these can be seen as reusable missiles more than actual human wingmen.

loitering recoverable munitions.

There is a spectrum of expected reusability, even with human piloted aircraft.
