You mean like the butterfly bomblets/mines that the Ukrainians are dropping?

https://observers.france24.com/en/europe/20220817-ukraine-russia-donetsk-petal-butterfly-antipersonnel-mines

"Numerous photos and videos were posted on social media in late July showing dozens of small PFM-1 “petal” mines in Russian-occupied Donetsk, in eastern Ukraine. The posts were accompanied by comments expressing outrage and fear that the mines – hard to see on sidewalks or in the grass – would be deadly to civilians. But it remains unclear whether Ukraine or Russia was responsible for dispersing these controversial weapons."

"Meanwhile, HRW has seen no evidence that Ukraine has used the mines, an action that would amount to a violation of the Ottawa Treaty. Still, accusations against both sides have flourished."

"There is little chance of definitively determining exactly who placed the mines that have been photographed in Donetsk. The priority in the region has been to clear the mines – often in ways that make them unrecognisable, precluding identification through serial numbers or manufacturing indications."

More keyboard vomit.

Keyboard vomit is relative to user.

Again, the premise was ‘civilian infrastructure’ and you, as par, you deviate from the actual discussion I made.

Want a Kleenex of maybe a paper towel for you own ‘keyboard vomit’?

Damn, the Russians are shelling their own positions again? Yes, of course we believe they are… we’re that gullible.
