Plus all those bombs that fell in Russia, dozens of kilometers away from the target.
The precision does get better, but still look at the second pic:

Of course, there are a number of cases where those bombs go awry. At least a couple fell even right into the Brjansk city. Those cases though doesn't affect much overall operations. Your first link is more typical - about 15-20m off the target.
This is why Russia uses at least 500kg or larger bombs, even 3000kg ones. With that precision they can't use 100kg and 250kg bombs. Which naturally affects how many bombs say a Su-34 can launch - it would have been 8 x 250 and instead it is 4 x 500 or even 1 x 3000. Compare that to say US using 45 kg warhead in a very precise Hellfire missile - the precision hit with that 45 kg warhead in many cases would achieve the same objective as 500kg at 20m.
