The aircraft flew up to speeds of 1,200mph. DARPA did not reveal which aircraft won the dogfight.

      Only the losing side is subject to war crimes trials, and no doubt rules of engagement will be developed and followed to prevent people going to jail due to “bad kills”.

      There are really no “bad kills” in the armed services, there’s just limited exposure of public scandals.

      Especially for the US who doesn’t subject its self to international courts like The Hague. So any atrocities, accidents, or war crimes will still just be internal scandals and temporary.

      Same as it is today.

      Of course there isn’t just like there isn’t when a human makes a mistake on the battlefield, you think that every civilian killed by an American soldier in Afghanistan resulted in a trial and punishment? American hasn’t executed amy soldiers since 1961 (for rape and attempted murder of a child in austria, not during war)

      Honestly at least the military code will obey orders and only focus on the objective rather than rape and murder for fun.

      Like if someone made a biological weapon that wipes out a continent

      Will someone go to prison?

      It’s no difference
