The video headlined "Slaughter at Belgorod Popovka: 34th Brigade destroys occupiers at the "dragon's teeth"" shows what is apparently a war crime.

The operator of the Russian drone drops bomblets, one of which seriously wounds and immobilizes an AFU soldier. The victim then proceeds to try and dress his wounded leg. The drone operator, rather than pursuing other nearby combatants, continues to drop bomblets on the crippled and helpless soldier, inflicting further wounds; until he finally "succeeds" in dropping a bomblet directly onto the victim's crotch, inflicting a lethal wound.

While I understand the mutual vindictiveness arising from this bitter war, such apparent sadism should not be tolerated. It is against all civilized conventions to continue to attack the wounded and helpless, and that drone operator should be disciplined.

I think it's more human to finish him off quickly, than to let him die slowly from his wounds. Probably no ambulance nearby, or what do you think?

No. He did not "finish him off quickly", he deliberately tortured him. And it's the sort of sordid rationalization psychopaths make. That was not an animal.

Ok, so you see a difference between humans and animals, i wonder who is the psychopath? And do you really think he's death would be quicker and less painful if he slowly succumbed from his wounds instead of dying quicker from the "torture"??
