AI can probably actually improve this particular incident. Having a "rocket" that doesn't explode but drops an AI controlled drone that kills (or even just disables) exactly who is targeted seems like it would be far superior from both the military perspective and the moral perspective.

It could even drop "phone home" over radio, allow the operators to point out the targets at that point, and then fire.
