Russian Jamming Severely Impacts US Weapons in Ukraine
TL;DR Summary
Russian jamming has significantly reduced the effectiveness of high-tech US weapons in Ukraine, with the success rate of Excalibur GPS-guided artillery shells dropping to less than 10%. This has led Ukraine to stop using certain Western weapons and seek urgent upgrades from the Pentagon. The dense web of Russian electronic warfare systems has also compromised other advanced weapons like HIMARS and the Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB), highlighting the challenges of modern warfare against a technologically capable adversary.
