All Ukrainian war production & management should be moved out of Ukrainian cities

Please, Russian indiscriminate bombing of Ukraines residential areas, has nothing to do with Russia trying to destroy "war production". It is terror bombing.

“terror bombing”

The Russians launch roughly 800 Shahed drone copies at Ukraine pretty much every day.

Ukraine shoots down all but 5% to 15% of them.

That means about 40 to 120 Shahed drone copies can go where they are intended to go daily.

The Shahed type drones carry a warhead:

“Warhead weight 52 kg (115 lb) and 90 kg (200 lb) options”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HESA_Shahed_136

Kiev has about 320 square miles, so that is about one targeted 115/200 lb. drone warhead per 2.5 (320/120) square miles per day.

If one also includes the shot down drones that explode on Kiev, that might amount about one 115/200 lb. drone warhead (targeted/free fall) per square mile of Kiev per day.

As most Kiev civilians need be concerned, the drones are in reality a noisy nightly nuisance. Of course, if the Ukrainian evening news shows images of say 10 strikes daily, the Kiev civilians might get as scared as many American liberals are of guns.

If you are a top-level Ukrainian weapons engineer, arms factory manager or military operations planner, worry, the Russians are out to get you, if the Russians can’t find a better target such as an artillery production lathe or drone component factory.
