Especially in war.
Adding an extra checklist-point to see IF it is possible to discover what’s in an enemy transport, while you’ve got a second-or-2 to shoot it down, … obliterates scarce opportunity to dent enemy capability.
At least they died quickly, unlike those who died in the Russian torture-chambers, in Russian custody.
