Two posters in two minutes. Alright
one said that using Red Cross vans as troop transport is ok because it “seems like a hospital”.. cuz fukk the rules lol.
Then son even said it wasn’t an English Channel…. In a non English speaking country during a war between two non English speaking nations.
ok lol
It is okay. It’s regularly done by medics around the world. The “rules” (which are more like guidance) are that we couldn’t mount weapons on vehicles designated as medical transports.
It doesn’t literally protect you, you’ll still likely be shot at, but you’d lose the right to complain about it if you have weapons mounted on it.
These are Geneva convention rules. Russia threw them shyts out the window on day 1.
Medics jumping out of an ambulance they use for medical evacuation is perfectly normal. Infantry/etc. riding with their wounded or doing supply runs in medical transport is perfectly normal. There’s nothing wrong in the video, especially since Russian has destroyed several ambulances with civilians inside the first week.
For reference my Army career was split between being a scout and some being a line medic. They can legally mount a Gun on that ambulance and no laws would be broken. It would be more of a “in poor taste” kind of situation. Check out the Geneva conventions when you get a chance. They’re more gentlemen rules than anything, but there are some things that could get you tried for war crimes if you lose a war and the winner wants to bring up charges on you.
