But booby traps are still a war crime regardless.

Laws against booby traps only cover civilian equipment and other protected items; military equipment is valid for trapping.

It has become a favorite among both military and civilian users because of the quality and stability of its images and signal control.

Russia is a fuck, but sounds like this could still count as a war crime.
