I know I would have.

I'm someone who finds it appalling that you would ask ATS military veterans to compare how they would kill the soldiers defending their country that you were trying to destroy and take, as if it were a video game level strategy.
The OP was asking if any other combat vets wouldn't do the same thing in the same situation.
As a Military Vet, I see no problem with the question.

The same situation as the Russian soldiers, who had no internationally legal business being there in the first place, murdering Ukrainian soldiers who were there to protect their country and countrymen, their way of life, etc.

Great! Maybe you can get a side gig as a mercenary! I hear Putin is hiring.
... That is, after you watch the clip of Russian soldiers murdering Ukrainian solders, to determine of those were good kills, or not, and then posting your critique, of course.
Weird... you're still talking.
You may want to get a book on self-awareness and go through it.

Guess I hit a nerve, 'cuz, you're still talking to me.

LOL, Rich!
Wear that uniform with pride girl, who cares whose emblem is on your shoulder, as long as it's a good kill.
You are not a Vet and cannot answer the question posed by the OP because... you're not a Vet.

I know mate, been to court several times giving evidence from my perspective but not collaborating others at or in the same situ.
Different perspectives, different mindsets.
Putting it out there, simply look at the later stages of "Saving Private Ryan". Perhaps a poor analogy but the story is a mixture of experiences by those veterans even to the point of shooting the surrendering opposing army.
And this is history throughout.
Kind regards,

No. That's not why. I can't answer because won't be watching a 'snuff films' of Ukranian soldiers being murdered by Russian soldiers. I don't find it exhilarating to zoom in on the details of the kills to discuss who did it best, in Putin's illegal war.
But hey, stay classy Lumi!

The OP was asking ATS Vets about their opinion.
You bust in like some internet Karen trying to gatekeep the subject but can't actually answer the question yourself because you are not qualified to do it.
If what you are yearning for is the last word, please reply to this post and I guarantee I will not answer it.
Christ Wept... don't you have some Dollar Store employee to terrorize instead?
Have a wonderful night dear.

I would certainly like to hear ATS Vets view on this post. There's nothing like being in the situation and an explanation.
Kind regards,
