Though I admit that I would like nothing more than to use Imperial Roman and later, Medieval forms of execution to all involved - from the top down.
If any of those responsible can be rounded up and put on trial, it's a start.

That *may* cause others to take note and avoid the same poor life choices.
In true, public executions in the middle ages (and even in latter periods) were in part to be family friendly and an entertainment:I once read a book titled The Book of Execution. Laid out as an encyclopedia of the various means of the various means of putting someone to death after (sometimes scanty) judicial review, it was pretty alarming. The medieval and older methods stood out in their, uh, not-family-friendly means.
Agreed, though the climate is tropical, so Ivan won't be freezing. Apparently there were plans to blow up the bridges between Crimea and Kherson if Ivan invades, but the Ukrainian officers in charge betrayed their country. But no matter, now is the time to hit Crimea's infrastructure.What I do not understand is why Ukraine has not destroyed the electrical and water supply systems in Crimea. Yes they want to recover the area but leaving the Russian military there with full electrical and water services is, to me, a mistake. After 8 years of Russian maintenance these systems are probably on the brink of failure anyway so will need upgrading once the orcs are banished.
A-10 may even be too fast for Shahed 136. They reportedly fly slower than A-10 stall speed. So is cruise speed of An-2.My prayer: "Lord, give me a beer to accept the things I cannot change, and give me an A-10 to change the things I can."
No Chris, this is not a debate...Agreed, and well said.
You are more than welcome to continue the discussion. So is Artesh. I just see no point in myself continuing it because it is a debate where neither of us will convince the other.
In many countries, including democratic ones with functional criminal court systems, war crimes are accepted or even actively encouraged, according with one recent administration pardoning perpetrators of war crimes convicted in national, military courts and an earlier administration endorsing torture and even subcontracting it to less-than-democratic allies.Oh, and no need to say how much coward are those politicians, as well!
Need examples? Read events after 1979, you will find thousands of examples.
Large and pricey SAMs, yes. But from what I've read the cheapest and most effective weapon against the Shahed would be the Vampire missiles. Small, highly accurate, relatively cheap at under US$28k per missile, needing only a single projectile to kill (Gepard, for example needs to fire dozens of hard to replace shells to score a single kill), and as mobile as the cheap civilian-spec vehicle moving them.A-10 may even be too fast for Shahed 136. Not to mention that GAU-8 is probably overkill by several orders of magnitude. Nevertheless I assume its cheaper to use than wasting missiles on those drones.
They have raped our girls, their girls have to be raped.
Who cares. I imagine gunnery targets are even slower than the Shahed drones. Just get the A-10 there for all us fanbois. C'mon, free up some air force bucks for stealth mods for the B-52!A-10 may even be too fast for Shahed 136. They reportedly fly slower than A-10 stall speed. So is cruise speed of An-2.

That's not only about Ukraine, that's about entire world.And what daughter deserves to be raped? Just because she was born to a criminal does not make her available to be subjected to the same crimes as her father perpetrated.
I'm sorry but I could not let this go. The pursuit of justice in the matter of war crimes in the war on Ukraine will not involve carrying out eye for an eye sentences on innocent members of criminals' families. Period.

They have killed my compatriots and threatened their families, same have to happened to their friends and families.

As I said, you're more than true, in this case. My mistake.SMFH
This is exactly what I am talking about. I don't care about cultural differences. This is the bahavior of animals. It is this kind of thinking that thrives in uncivilized cultures. Sorry, but sorry to say this.
This women and children you say should suffer from "revenge rape" are innocent too. If you do this to them you are nothing more than a criminal yourself, and deserve to be treated as such.
What crime did these women and children commit? Being born into this world? Being born to a criminal father?
Same goes for killing innocent family members.
Furthermore, by committing such acts you only breed the next terrorists, because they only see you as the barbarian who killed their innocent child, brother, sister, mother, etc. You only further breed hate.
Enough of this. I am sorry, but as a civilized decent human being who cares about human life and enjoys living in a civilized world, this will not be tolerated. This type of thinking is not compatible with civilized life. Time to move on!
That is definitely the cheapest I have seen in the missile camp. Though I still think that gunning them down will be more cost effective with the right weapons. A Shahed is assumed to cost less than $20k. Probably 20 mm ammo or even machinegun caliber is more than enough.Large and pricey SAMs, yes.

Although cheaper than most current AA missiles, $150K is still far from the $20K cost of the target it intends to destroy.There's no reason why the A-10 can't be equipped with Perigrine missiles for UAV hunting.
