• Tbf I’m pretty sure if they stopped the vehicle the bomb would have reached them sooner, if they piled out it likely would have turned the vehicle to shrapnel before they got far enough away to then safely surrender.

        And I’m not sure the drone operator had enough time to even register the signal and change the direction of the drone. Human reaction time is about .5sec from decision to action, and on top of that add “is that even within the realm of possibility for drone maneuverability,” it honestly kinda seems like they were just fucked on timing.

    • The white flag is, per international treaties, a signal you want to communicate with the other side regarding a truce or surrender. It’s not a free “get out of jail” card when you’re retreating.
