If they had CBUs or were fragged to civilian targets, then it's about time. They can use the excuse they were only following orders, and that will then play out as it should. Gonna make for a lot of flight crew think to re-muster to drone pilot. Countries involved in projection of power are still obliged to comply with the law. The guy at the end of the line is not the one giving directions, so it brings up the uncomfortable position for everyone that is giving orders. Not all military law permits a special military operation person to refuse the order, but it would be interesting to see it play out in a court of law. Makes for a distraction to the Red team, that's worth the candle. It is just the beginning of the legal arguments.

That image from the article should be given some airtime.WAR CRIMES prosecutor is a mill stone around the neck of Russia. Something for a T-shirt perhaps?
