Terminator Mode: What Ukraine’s Autonomous Kill Claim Actually Costs Dark, editorial illustration of six drone icons converging in formation on a glowing red targeting reticle at the bottom of the frame, set against faint concentric radar rings. Five drones are rendered in grey with solid uplink lines running to a faded human-silhouette icon at the top labeled "Human oversight — link lost." The sixth drone, nearest the reticle, is rendered in pale red with its uplink shown as a dashed line that breaks and stops short of the human icon, visually marking its severed connection. Over a darkened lower third, the headline reads "AI WEAPONS WATCH / TERMINATOR MODE / Ukraine's autonomous kill claim, and the line that shouldn't move," with a small "Illustration — a Prime Rogue Inc. publication" credit beneath.
