No, I mean that the “precision” munitions are usually about as precise as a couple square metres, usually less. It’s enough to get the target. But as you know, UA military have a penchant for positioning among civilian structures. So a precision munition that can destroy a howitzer nest next to an apartment building will also likely shred whoever is in the building too.
Now I won’t shed any tears for the fuckers in the Nazi battalions. But I find it hard to pretend that every single individual over there is a Nazi, and so are their houses

Don’t we have Lancets for that? It’s not as if we’re hitting every suspicious bush with 500 kilos of high explosives.
I think FABs are used to clear buildings with extensive defenses built into them (machine gun nests, etc.) instead of driving straight up to them with tanks and bombing them that way while risking land mines and ATGMs. That way, if we see enemy fortifications, we just delete the entire struture from existence. This sounds brutal, but it does not cause more civilian deaths than charging at these buildings while yelling “URAAAAA!” at the top of our lungs and then clearing these structures room by room with hand grenades and assault weapons.
There’s still infrastructure. Houses, schools perhaps, hospitals, you name it. The civilians will have to return at some point. Who will they blame for the misery and destruction? I somehow doubt it will be Zelensky or Poroshenko or Victoria Nuland
Yeah. Ultimately it all comes down to this. I’m not diminishing the suffering of the people, but every time i see Ukrainian refugees i also see the horrors of 90’s Russia (and Ukraine!) being possibly prevented to happen anew.

But those places have been fought for days or weeks already. I doubt there is many civilians left there at all.
