www.hrw.org
Russian forces have repeatedly used drones to attack civilians and civilian objects in Kherson city in southern Ukraine, serious violations of the laws of war.

  • In 2024, Russian drone strikes killed dozens of civilians and injured hundreds more in the city of Kherson, in apparently deliberate or reckless attacks that constitute war crimes.
  • The attacks have the apparent purpose of instilling terror in the civilian population in Kherson, part of a widespread attack against that population.
  • These attacks underscore the urgency of identifying effective ways to enforce respect for international humanitarian law, including through prosecutions of serious crimes in Ukraine.

      Yeah I think the weight limit of drones meant that the murderbot scenario was kept at bay for a while. You can’t really put a 4090 on a cheap drone.

      The fibre optic thing totally changes that though.
