Mainstream and social media outlets reported on Friday that a batch of equipment sent to a Russian drone unit by volunteers was filled with plastic explosives.
Each contained a plastic explosives charge designed to detonate when the devices were switched on.
Ah, see that’s where you went wrong. You have to wait until they’ve all been deployed and are in use before you detonate them. Look at the Israeli pager attack. It was very effective, because there was a large dwell time between delivery and detonation.
Of course, the pager attack was despicable because it wasn’t targeted, and almost certainly harmed protected noncombatants. This is more targeted, because it’s given directly to combatants, and there’s much less chance of innocent bystanders. But booby traps are still a war crime regardless.
But booby traps are still a war crime regardless.
Laws against booby traps only cover civilian equipment and other protected items; military equipment is valid for trapping.
It has become a favorite among both military and civilian users because of the quality and stability of its images and signal control.
Russia is a fuck, but sounds like this could still count as a war crime.
Oops!
All IEDs!
Are the russians sure? Maybe they should still try them, see if they’re good
