Iran Parades 30 Missiles With Range of 2,000km
— Iran paraded 30 missiles with a nominal range of 2,000 kilometers (1,250 miles) Sunday, the first time it had displayed so many with the theoretical capacity to hit Israeli targets.
Iran displayed 12 Sejil and 18 Ghadr missiles at the annual parade marking the anniversary of the outbreak of the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war.

Exactly. Hence [Mercurious’] statement is rendered invalid. Which I belive obligatory was trying to point out. You could have more and different sensors but you still need to interpet and classify your information. Misstakes are still going to be made.
Mistakes will indeed be made. But my statement that a simple mockup will be of little use when faced with multispectral reconnaissance sensors remains valid.

why would you be motivated if you’re not a signatory to the ICC? its a “licence to kill” issued by you to yourself 😉

Are those the same multi-spectral sensors being used to blow up breast-feeding mothers in Afghanistan & Pakistan ?
That’s not an issue with the sensors, it’s an issue with the dumbasses pulling the trigger. If they blew up sex dolls instead of people, then it would be an issue with the sensor.

I don’t think its about the ICC (that’s too global an issue). I think it comes down to valuing the person in the crosshairs enough to assess their suitability for termination…..
Anyway, if this were a legion of Iranian drones we were discussing rather than ballistic missiles would your concerns about the ethics of weaponry be more or less valid?

Although as the sensors get better the room for error decreases (assuming the human in loop is motivated to avoid casualties that is).

Presumably the same humans who made the mistake obligatory is referring to? I don’t know the details but its better than carpet bombing either way you cut it and certainly better than Fuel Air explosives in urban areas.
Exactly. Hence
Not when faced with modern multi-spectral reconaissance sensors.

Sad but true. Serbians effectively used logs to silmulate tanks in the bosnian war. In the end there will always be a human in the loop to decide what is a target and what isn’t.

Papier mâché comes in handy when some western countries decide to bomb all your stocks.

How do you say papier mâche in Farsi?

Given Iran’s usual tricks I wouldn’t be surprised if half of them were inflatables.
