which one of these criteria is not part of the international consensus for identifying an aircraft as military? the operating country says it is a military aircraft. it is commanded by a member of that states military. it is operated by commissioned units of a states armed forces. it bears the military markings of that state.

Explanation:

To determine which criterion is not part of the international consensus for identifying a military aircraft, we analyze each option:

• "It is commanded by a member of that State’s military": Command by military personnel is a typical military aircraft indicator.
• "It is operated by commissioned units of a State’s armed forces": Operation by armed forces units is a key military aircraft criterion.
• "It bears the military markings of that State": Military markings are a standard identifier for military aircraft.
• "The operating country says it is a military aircraft": International consensus for military aircraft identification relies on operational, command, or marking - based criteria, not just a country's claim. A country could potentially misclassify or make a claim for non - legitimate reasons, so this is not part of the international consensus - based identification criteria.

Answer:

The operating country says it is a military aircraft.
