I believe that’s called a cruise missile

How many cruise missiles are flown with joysticks by humans? :)

Only if it's meant for a single one-way flight that ends with a big kaboom. Presumably since they're calling it a drone it's meant to fly somewhere, do something (deliver ordnance or just surveil an area) and come back for refueling, repairs, and redeployment.
