> Or is it actively targeting (laser etc) for terminal guidance of the shells?

Seems like that is the case, yes, at least from what I could read on the wiki page I linked in a comment above [1]

> drone + artillery, do you have a link to more details?

Not necessarily what you asked for but this targeted Google search [2] (which is in fact a /r/syriancivilwar search) can give you an idea of what the Russian implementation of this technology can do (I didn't catch the name of the Turkish/NATO implementation of it on the other side).

Looking at this tweet [3] from 2 days ago it seems that the technology has evolved quite rapidly, that poster is linking to a tweet from late 2017 when the Russians were still in the early test phase of it all. [4]
