I mean now you're just pivoting from the standard soldier, which we are taking about, to the ones committing the war crimes. Which isn't an insignificant amount and I won't try to excuse their behavior but I don't think it's fair to say all of them are war criminals.

But for the standard Russian soldier hanging out in a trench after getting swept off the streets in some minority region of Russia and pushed straight to the front lines and getting a grenade dropped on him from a drone; Yes, I feel a bit bad for them.

I would argue the vast majority. Don't underestimate the amount of propaganda they go through.

I feel sad seeing all deaths in this war. I just feel less sad when it's the invaders.

What got revealed?

Every thread has an what about Iraq poster now. Even pretty unrelated ones like this.

Fucking bots. Tired of these assholes using it at an excuse for continued injustices.

A lot of ppl lose a lot of the sensitivity after getting it done.

It's not there. Especially not on an index.

Even on my Pimax 8k I wouldn't want to be working off of virtual monitors.

Also 3 2k monitors is often cheaper then a lot of VR headsets.

I think it's two monitors next to each other.

Why can’t you see the holes where they placed the mines from a helicopter?

Anti tank mines are buried so after some time they are basically invisible. If they are lucky it might be recently placed (dirt is still visibility disturbed) or places poorly and they can find them.

Anti personal mines are straight up too small to see from the air. Google butterfly mines. Almost impossible to see in some of the dense foliage.

Also flying shit in an active combat zone often gets shot down.

Is there no machine that can “see” underground and help locate them?

There is metal detectors which are widely used. But very hard to use in a combat zone. Anything bigger would trip the mine.

Speaking of big things triggering it, it also happens to also be a way they clear it. They attach these big disposable wheels to the front of tanks which activates the mines. They are just extremely slow and once again hard to use in an active combat zone.

Is there no way to just spray a bunch of objects in the field and detonate them?

They do something similar actually, instead it's a huge rope of explosives that blows open a corridor. It gets shot out of a vehicle using rockets. But the amount of explosive used is not cheap so limited supplies and it's also a very dangerous target due to the amount of explosives needed. Some of the biggest explosions I have seen online have been from these mine clearing vehicles.

I assume he was in whatever local hospital for a while until safe to move.

I wouldn't be surprised but I hope you're wrong.

How could this have happened? Shouldn't all the building codes we have effectively prevent something like this???
