The Ministry of Defence of Ukraine outlines what a kill chain is and how AI helps make enemy target engagement even more effective.

Low effort is not bothering to read the 4th and 5th paragraph:

The test took place two years ago and involved quadcopter drones that were programmed to fly towards the front line, cover between 3 and 5 kilometres over around 10 minutes and then engage “Terminator mode”, in which an AI model searches for and intercepts targets.

“We just launch it and we know everything will be dead – everything that will be found there in this particular area will be dead,” says Kokhanovskyy. “There is no connection to the drone at all, you cannot see the video, nothing… Everything it sees will be killed.”

No-one gets a free pass on war crimes. It is not inconsistent to support Ukraine but also to expect that when Ukraine commits war crimes those responsible are held accountable.

    Of course I read that, and you are reading it wrong, because it is later clarified very clearly:

    However, we do not use fully autonomous drone systems that independently select and engage targets without any operator involvement,” says Polozhukhno.

    WE DO NOT ENGAGE TARGETS ... WITHOUT OPERATOR INVOLVEMENT!!

    What they can do with AI however, is to have one operator control multiple drones.
