This building was used by the enemy for FPV operators, the airframe and equipment were seen several times.

Our friends nicely discovered and passed on the information for the damage 👍

P.S: I added a video in the comments, which was filmed by the same Russian cameramen

Would have done a lot more damage with a bit of delay on the fuses...

Watch how the shockwave of the first hit lifts the roof and travels through the building.

Pretty sure there's noone alive in the building after the two explosions.

Was surprised at how unbothered the building was by those bombs

I suppose it doesn't matter that the building is still standing if everyone's organs are liquefied.

I can't decide if it's better to leave a strategic position (that's easy to bomb) standing for repeat business, or if levelling the building is the overall better strategy

Either way, those were some accurate strikes!

Structures are designed to resist vertical loading, it's why the only buildings standing in Hiroshima and Nagasaki following the bombings were directly under the detonation point. They withstood the shockwave when loaded vertically, other buildings experienced side loading and collapsed. The comment about delayed fusing is right, but it's actually tough with these comniblock buildings, there's probably 30-40cm of reinforced concrete between each floor. Brick shit houses.
