I mean yeah that math might check out if you only believe that the purpose of things exploding in war is to kill guys every time but if I was a soldier I would hate having 10 things explode near me more than one thing very accurately exploding some guys close to me.
And there's probably a lot of cases where you would just flat out prefer to kind of accurately explode 10 areas compared to accurately exploding less areas than that.
Right, precision striking isn't a replacement for saturation, and the whole argument is fundamentally flawed. It's just how it's been sold in the west. What we're seeing is that west produces boutique weapons of questionable effectiveness, while Russia mass produces cheap and reliable weapons that you actually need in a war.
