- krige 6mo agoEnough with the ace combat fanfics. In a serious drone war a neutral cargo ship would not be allowed to hang around with potentially a shitload of drones in its containers.
- rounce 6mo agoIn a serious drone war, the cargo ship wouldn't know it was carrying containers full of drones, as we saw in Ukraine's Operation Spiderweb[0]. 0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Spiderweb https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Spiderweb

So all that would change to be legal would be to raise the flag and then unleash the drone swarms. I'm not quite sure if just putting up a military flag on a civilian transport ship makes it count as a warship or not though.
