that's what you get for trying more war crimes

quote:

The law applicable in international armed conflict forbids �mak[ing] improper use of � the military insignia and uniform of the enemy �� (Art. 23(f) of the Hague Regulations of 1899 and 1907; Art. 39 of Additional Protocol I; Art. 8(2)(b)(vii) of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court). Not all uses of enemy uniforms are prohibited therefore; only �improper� uses. For example, wearing enemy uniforms in order to flee the fighting or escape capture does not run afoul of the law (U.S. Department of Defense Law of War Manual � 5.23.1.4). On the other side of the spectrum, engaging in attacks while wearing the uniform of the enemy is flatly prohibited, as affirmed in the treaty law and numerous military manuals (see here, here and here, for example), and is a war crime under the Rome Statute.

Utterly, absolutely clownshoes military :downs:

Now don't get me wrong, it's not like I'm the second coming of Sun Tzu myself, but surely anyone with more working brain cells than teeth would know that if they were going to commit this particular form of war crime, they would at least inform their side to avoid this poo poo from happening. Surely if Colonel Kleptovski could afford to pay the $15K-$20K to buy his position, he'd have had enough schooling to know this, right?

Russian conscription laws change once again:

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66388422

quote:

"Now I live in a state of constant fear. I can't plan anything," says Peter, 27.

He is a salesman living in St Petersburg - but he is now at risk of being called up to fight as part of the Ukraine war.

At the end of July, Russia raised the maximum conscription age by three years, widening the pool of men that can be called up to serve. Peter is one of millions affected by this change.

Before, all healthy men in Russia aged between 18 and 27 had to serve one year of compulsory military service. Conscription was carried out twice a year.

Now, all men up to 30 years of age can be called up.

Russia's apologists say they want peace. Really they just want Ukraine to give up:

Being gay gives you an unfair advantage which Russian men will never use because they are big manly men who fight with honor and do honorable things like war crimes.

It's not perfectly clear to me if SCALPS are identical to storm Shadows, or if there are some differences.

Either way, more boom stuff is good news.

Honestly, I expect they run different firmware versions and SCALPs legitimately talks in French. Stormshadows, and SCALP are made by MBDA UK and MBDA France respectively. I have zero knowledge of the communication protocol between a SS/SCALP and the aircraft, but if there's any human readable element to it beyond numbers, I can't image the French would stand for it being in English.
