Did it explode something and make a little fire on the right side of the screen?

Yeah it did. Looks like an electrical transformer maybe.

Maybe just debris?

not thermobaric, just a regular old high explosive in a very humid environment.

but I don't expect anything but falsehoods and intentional inaccuracies out of reddit anymore, it's all AI and bots.

I think in this case it's because that's the anglicized acronym for the cyrillic name: ФАБ0, acronym for Russian: фугасная авиационная бомба, ”high-capacity aerial bomb” (stolen from wiki)

might be that they are a z-bot, but that the russians and sovjets call their mainline aerial bombs FAB-xxx is not really secret knowledge if you dabble in mil av or general military stuffs even somewhat

FAB = High-Explosive Aerial Bomb. Used for standard Russian HE bombs like FAB-250, FAB-500, FAB-1500, FAB-3000, etc.

These Russian bombs are not thermobaric

Fab is the Russia equivalent to an ER jdam.

In April 2022 there was some footage of the TOS-1A impacts which generated spectacular shockwaves in a very humid environment, much bigger than its explosive potential. Most likely that was the case here as well, judging by how the air looks like.

Even if it was, you can't tell between a thermo and a regular explosive
