The New York Times journalists analyzed in detail more than 1,000 photographs of the results of Russian shelling in Ukraine and identified at least 450 cases of Russians using unguided bombs and ammunition in Ukraine.
In the course of their extensive research, The New York Times journalists analyzed photographs taken by their own photographers and correspondents, as well as those published by the Ukrainian authorities as official evidence of Russian crimes.. In these photographs, they identified more than 2,000 munitions, most of which are considered unguided..

Of these 450 identified unguided munitions, 210 are expressly prohibited from use by international conventions, in particular the so-called cluster munitions.
