You say this as if we haven't seen dozens of videos of UMPC bombs being quite accurate. Another source claims it is a thermobaric ODAB, so a direct hit wouldn't make sense, either.
The War in the Ukraine
- Thread starter SampanViking

The Russian army used the super-powerful FAB-3000 M-54 bombs for the first time in Ukraine; technical information about them is in the link to the video in the comments to the video. It is worth noting that some believe that a FAB-1500 bomb was used. The bomb was allegedly dropped from a Tu-22M3 bomber; what carrier was used is not reported. The strike was carried out on the temporary deployment point of Ukrainian units in the village of Liptsy, Kharkov region. The deviation of the FAB-3000 bomb from the target was about 15 meters, which is acceptable for bombs of this class.

US halting MIM Patriot orders and diverting them to Ukraine. The desperation is reaching new heights.
Great article written by Simplicius the Thinker that outlines Putin's trip to the DPRK, Russian and DPRK MIC stats, the F-16 situation, and many more facts about the current situation on the frontlines.
Some paragraphs from the article regarding shell production numbers:
-Not only does this tightening of relations represent the likely increase of conventional staple North Korean munitions to the Russian army, it also suggests the possibility of much more comprehensive supplies in the future; i.e. not just shells and small arms, but possibly entire weapons systems like MLRS, light and heavy armor, etc.
-Not only is North Korea’s current peacetime production capable of a massive 2 million 152mm shells per year, the South Korean expert source believes they can ramp this by 2x or 3x to a whopping 4-6m. To put that in perspective, the entire combined West could not deliver even 1 million shells to Ukraine, and that’s after trying to desperately source them all over the world. The U.S. has just ‘proudly’ announced their ramp up to 36k shell per month production, a measly ~430,000 a year, with the slated schedule to ramp to 80,000 a month—or 960k a year—by the year 2028.
-Meanwhile, not only is Russia already said to be hitting 4-5M a year soon, but North Korea does 2M and can quickly ramp to 6M. In short, Russia’s strategic defensive initiative with North Korea promises to keep Russia’s artillery-thirsty army more than quenched indefinitely.

Can you write/mention international laws about wars that apply to every country in this world ?
What about looting Summer Palace ?
What about 8-nation action in 1900/01 ?
What about every war US did to another nation?
Is there any international law ?
How about Ukraine coup , can you tell me about the law ? Is it legal ?
Let's not forget Iran is still supplying shells and drones.
North Korea is already supplying Grad rockets and possibly their own ballistic missiles.

I dont think the accuracy is important with this kind of kill radius
Despite the absence of a direct hit of the aerial bomb directly into the building, the deviation of the FAB was no more than a dozen meters, which is more than a satisfactory result for ammunition of this type. At the same time, the radius of continuous destruction of the FAB-3000 is 230 meters, and the fragments retain their killing power at a distance of more than 1200 meters. As you can see in the footage, the building was significantly damaged, in addition, as a result of the explosion, several nearby low-rise buildings were completely destroyed.
UVZ manufactures both new T-90Ms and refurbishes old T-90's into T-90Ms. It has been this way from the start of T-90M production.
It is a mistake to compare UVZ production in peacetime with wartime production with triple the work time schedule. Single 8h shift Monday to Friday -> Two 12h shifts Monday to Saturday.
Russia could speed up hull production by adding back automatic welding to it. The automatic tank hull welding was taken out in Yeltsin's time. Probably as some kind of gesture to the US. But the Russian automotive industry knows how to use modern robots and this could be put back into the line if boosting production is necessary.
