    • 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.
