Hmm, this can be used as a weapon of mass destruction?
Chemical weapons were used during the Syrian civil war. Just because something is banned doesn't mean someone won't use it.
Sounds like chemical weapons which are forbidden in modern warfare, AFAIK. You don't really need robot swarms to deliver toxic substances, there are plenty of simpler ways.
They already have chemical and bio weapons. Might as well throw another log on the pile.
Not really. Chemical weapons are applied unselectively and have a great potential of using against civilians. I don't think many people would mind guided poison arrows.But I appreciate your irony. :-)
That would be against the Geneva convention, probably under poisonous gas.
All the rest are fine but "Outlawed the use of chemical weapons". What?
