Now, I'm all for the freedom of defending your country... But am I the only one thinking that this is presented in a bit too much of a good light? Like, what is the title supposed to make me feel? If the nationalities were reversed, would this have been posted here still?

I genuinely thank you for sharing this info, but I can't help feeling uncomfortable reading about atrocious killing devices in a technology thread.

Russia is already using thermite charges, thermobaric weapons and tear gas. They get what's coming to them.

Yeah I'm not sure that war crimes work that way. You don't get a pass because the opponent is doing illegal things.

I don't think this qualifies as a war crime
