"Loyal" basically means "remote controlled" in this context. There's basic autonomy for enabling flight, takeoff and landing, but AFAIK the rest is controlled from the cockpit of a networked aircraft. A slight force multiplier for fighter jets, but potentially game-changing if you need to escort an AWACS or troop transport on the cheap.

Of course, that's not to say we haven't seen drones decide they want to switch sides during combat before: https://www.airandspaceforces.com/why-russia-shot-down-s-70-...
