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.
