Prepared for over a year under the direct supervision of President Zelensky, the operation consisted of coordinated strikes by kamikaze drones launched deep into Russian territory from \u00abTrojan Horse\u00bb trucks that had left Ukraine. These strikes destroyed or seriously damaged around 40 Russian aircraft, including many strategic carriers such as very long-range bombers (Tupolev Tu-22M, Tu-95 and Tu-160), at five Russian air bases. Among them was the Belaya base, located near Irkutsk, north of the Mongolian border... some 6,000 kilometres from Kiev!<\/p><p>To compensate for the possible loss of data flow (particularly in the event of jamming preventing the devices from reaching their targets) during this long-range drone attack, Ukrainian forces equipped the kamikaze drones with AI, after training it on full-scale Russian bombers on display in a museum in Kiev. The idea was simple: if human control of the drone pilots was lost, the AI would take over to direct the drones to their target, a pre-identified aircraft. But a problem quickly arose: unable to integrate the unexpected presence of civilians (runway personnel, mechanics, firefighters, etc.) on the ground during training, the AI continued its mission without taking into account the potential collateral damage.<\/p><p>This example perfectly illustrates the current dilemma: AI can increase military effectiveness, but it cannot (yet?) anticipate all unforeseen situations.

Examples from Ukraine, such as Operation Spider Web, show that AI-driven drones can continue their mission despite the presence of civilians, without considering the \u00abexcessive\u00bb nature of collateral damage, because this scenario has not been incorporated into their programming. This inability to anticipate all unforeseen situations reveals a fundamental limitation: AI cannot examine all phases of targeting on its own.<\/p><p>Indeed, \u00abthis should not change the manager's responsibility.\u00bb<em>, <\/em>indicates the EMA's LEGAD. Even if AI takes over, it is still the human authority that must answer for the consequences. <em>all the more so,<\/em> because AI is not in itself a legal entity: it has no legal personality. In other words, AI can execute, but it cannot assume responsibility.

Some argue for a new international treaty, believing that the Geneva Conventions, the basis of international humanitarian law drafted in the mid-20th century, are no longer adequate.<sup>e<\/sup> century, cannot anticipate the challenges posed by technologies capable of learning and making decisions in real time. The argument is appealing: a framework <em>ad hoc<\/em> would provide a clear and appropriate response. However, it also carries a major risk: that of fragmenting the existing body of law and undermining its authority.<\/p><p>The French position, as reiterated by the advisor to the Armed Forces Staff, is clear: \u00abThe Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols are broad enough to adapt to new systems. \u00bb IHL is therefore not set in stone; it has already demonstrated its ability to evolve and apply to new contexts. Creating a specific rule could open the door to differences in interpretation, or even political disagreements, which would weaken the binding force of IHL.<\/p><p>LEGAD shares this pragmatic approach:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e02c85f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e02c85f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u00abIt is better to focus on what we have, pushing the interpretation of texts in manuals, conferences, etc. to the maximum.
