Surrender to drone may never become common. Accepting a surrender incurs substantial risk, and the relief of not needing to kill someone in person is probably psychologically important to the decision to accept that risk. I am sure that remote kills/captures operate under different moral calculus.
Nice; thank you for the analysis.
Asymmetric warfare is one thing; streaming an apparent violation of international law is another.
I’m no expert, but isn’t there a rule against targeting disabled fighters?
If I were commanding forces, I would hoard my rule-breaking opportunities and use them to gain decisive advantage, not engage in harassment. I hope something was gained here. Otherwise, Russia gets to point a finger and pretend to justify their own, far worse, barbarism.
