Blowing a metro station (hint - used by civilians) is not fighting. Nor of course is blowing buildings with civilians from opposing side.
Deliberate attacks specifically targeting civilian population are terror acts. And it does not matter how barbarically Russian (or American or Israeli or Pakistani or Sudanese or Jordanian or Chinese or Martian) military acted in Chechnya (or elsewhere). Attacks on military targets can be classified as fighting. Lack of drones/missiles and ctr does not explain why one decides to strike civilians and not military personal. And it is counterproductive since general public after encountering such a "fighting" usually supports its military even more blindly.
