I've seen some of these FPV videos of kills of unarmed Russian soldiers. I honestly don't know why the pilots are not prosecuted for war crimes.

(and I'm sure Russia does the same to Ukraine, I just haven't seen those videos).

So if artillery is fired at an enemy position, and they’re unarmed, is that a war crime?

Catching an enemy soldier unarmed doesn’t mean you’re a war criminal, it means they made a big mistake.

This is war, not a gentleman’s duel.
