Landmines are made to not be detected and last 100 years. These fall to the ground after 30 mins. Unexploded bombs also bury themselves. These will be attractive to children (boys) but since they can only go 5 km the children are already part of the battle. Sure I'd add a further mode to land early and have a low power sensor to blow up when it detects a person in some cases but there's little reason to think this story is even true yet.

Wow, adding some gender to it is beautiful. And how child labor is limited. I like that you went with a third paragraph of ideas instead of just self reflection and deletion. Strong take.

For labour it's a farming and digging issue for adults but for the children killed it's mostly about play I'm not sure where this is coming from? As I said given Kargu-2 are going to be on the surface or returned to base they will be quickly cleaned up. Also unless they have gone to suicide mode and missed they should be relatively harmless. Without added programming they are not like mines.

Add a small radio receiver that turns the drone on when it picks up a signal from a handheld radio or cellphone within flight range. Add small solar panels to trickle charge the battery while it waits. What’s the shelflife of LiPo batteries?
