These are not the same, at least where the military terminology applies to programming. A snafu is a general situation in a system where nothing works because it's chaotic, disorganized etc. A fubar is simply a thing which was fixed to the point when no further fixes are necessary.

You'd love the serbian version of a snafu: jebo lud zbunjenog. Literally, "[the] crazy [one] fucked [the] confused [one]". (the bracketed words are implied but absent in the original)
