The optic cable is for the human pilot. An AI piloted drone doesn't need it.

Although even autonomous combat/ISTAR drones may require fibre spools for BDA, ISTAR, etc.
If we are ok with AI drones autonomously choosing bombing targets, then you're right.
I think Ukraine would be ok with AI drones launched next to a Russian airfield autonomously choosing targets...
I expect Russia will be ok with it in any situation.
Obviously the Russians wouldn't be one hundred percent okay with drones autonomously choosing targets in or near Russian airfields...

I suspect the first big use case and subsequent rewrite of the battlefield will come from AI drones targeting enemy drones.
It's been done before, specifically in the naval context.
