You are probably giving too much credit the Russians actually know what and who they are bombing, or even have the capability to control their bombs. We accidentally (some would argue not an accident) bomb civilians in war zones where we have complete control of the skies (which they dont) and our technology and control is levels above Russia on top of that.
Also you are probably giving Putin way too much credit that he is even aware of what is going on. He probably has a sense it is going poorly overall, but he is probably surrounded by yes men who aren't giving him very good info (because they want to keep living).
