Yes, that is what I meant. For a drone like this to hit its target, it must avoid being detected by air defence. The only way to achieve this for a simple system like this is to go around it, i.e. it has to know where the air defence assets are. Which is where the US comes in because there is no other way for Ukraine to obtain this kind of information.
