Spectacular footage:

An Ukrainian FPV drone downed a Russian Kamov Ka-52 „Alligator“ helicopter. The crew initially survived the crash, but was subsequently targeted and destroyed by more FPV drones.

isn't that a war crime?

@wolf480pl
no, it is not. These are military servicemen, enemy combatants.

But Geneva Conventions have protections for out-of-combat soldiers

Wikipedia mentions the Additional Protocol I to the 1949 Geneva Conventions, Article 42:

> Upon reaching the ground in territory controlled by an adverse Party, a person who has parachuted from an aircraft in distress shall be given an opportunity to surrender before being made the object of attack, unless it is apparent that he is engaging in a hostile act.

@wolf480pl @hajovonta @Tendar I disagree. That clause cannot be applied to this case. Soldiers were not out-of-combat. Hiding, doesn't mean out-of-combat.
