Does that count a perfidy, in a war crimes sense? It seems like it would but I don't want to make baseless accusations.

Geneva Convention, Protocol I, Article 39.2:

It is prohibited to make use of the flags or military emblems, insignia or uniforms of adverse Parties while engaging in attacks or in order to shield, favour, protect or impede military operations.

So yes, I believe that would actually cover it.
