It’s Boeing, what a surprise
Excalibur artillery rounds dropped from 70% effectiveness down to 6% due to the same jamming, damn
Sounds like these were designed and deployed quickly and susceptible to GPS jamming. Can’t really blame Boeing.
Luckily not many were made.
you’d want to counter the EW threat before deploying PGMs. In the gulf war British Tornadoes(wild weasel – cue “Radar Love” by golden earing) were used to trick the Iraqi’s into powering on their radars/EW devices and behind the tornadoes F-15Es and F-16’s would clean up any threat.
So you spook the enemy into revealing themselves……destroy threat…..free reign! This was displayed to the world in 1991….
We sent over a bunch of weapons to Ukraine, most of it 20 years or older. Russia might have an answer for some of it, they aren’t completely dumb. But they would be largely ineffective against the stuff we aren’t taking out of mothballs. A majority of the stuff sent over there was in line to be decommissioned or sold off anyways.
On the other hand, pretty sure our javelins did numbers on their newest tanks and our Patriot systems are performing gallantly as well.
On the one hand, its certainly not a good thing things are failing right when they would count. On the other… its good to see this weakness now so we can harden our equipment against it or else mitigate the damage by changing methodology. This war is pushing forward the art of, well, war forward decades and its going to be the more civilized nations that benefit most. Russia will be making itself increasingly irrelevant as cheap tricks are removed from the table while everyone else develops their own.
At least we’ll have a clearer idea of where to throw our money.
Russia is adapting and learning a ton. The Keystone Cops routine of the original invasion has given way to some very very good tactics and strategies that have seen them go back on the front foot while Ukraine collapses. Ukraine just doesn’t have the ability to launch a counterattack anymore.
Just a matter of time and the sustained pressure will lead to more and more ground being taken. This time Russia will be slow and methodical and not outrun their supply lines.
I thought this was old news
Good thing reddit didnt cheer up the GLSDB to be a game changer.
Right?
…right?
I don’t want to learn how to speak russian or chinese.
Boeing product you say?
Not an expert or anything, but I have heard that the Russians are pretty good at jamming/electronic warfare. Hopefully we’re getting good data.
Both M982 Excalibur and GMLS don`t have big problems with russian electronics warfare – even without GPS they use inertial navigation system, GLSDB also have inertial navigation system. Hey, even old soviet Tochka-U have good results in shooting at ranges up to 100-120 km.
Moreover Ukrainian long range suicide drones strike targets with only GPS navigation.
So it look strange – everyone know how to deal with EW except GLSDB manufacturer.
Us has a microwave missle that fries all electronics thats just one thing in its arsenel, if the US actually needed to stop russias jamming they would
I was expecting GPS jamming when I read the article, not GPS spoofing.
GPS encryption hasn’t been around that long, but it’s definitely available.
give them f16’s so they can take the electronic warfare systems out then use them!
Better fix it or no one’s gonna place any more orders.
Russia will get better at being able to fight American military tech but they are fighting against old tech. Also there was an old American tank on the battlefield that wrecked one of the newer modern russian tanks in a 1v1 battle.
It was clear for years jamming would be Russians go-to. Wonder why the west didn’t prepare more
Great intel. No NATO or US casualties.
Time to launch new GPS satellites with higher power transmitter or dynamicly varying frequency based on quality of connection
Why bother, if the previous guy gets back in he’ll brag all of our systems away. All the Russians will have to do is flatter.
So we tested it in real time let’s figure out a way to make it work. All this money on these bombs and they don’t work? Our soldiers lives depend on shit working.
Trump had national security documents at his Mar a lago bathroom. All you had to do is take a shit – and walk out with our nuclear secrets.
Not very surprising. Our modern arsenal was designed for asymmetric warfare with the War on Terror in mind. Our enemies didn’t have very advanced jamming capabilities then.
good thing these weaknesses are found out here instead of against China.
They reied to heavily on electronics. There is a reason why the origina guided missies were very mechanical and “self contained” in thier controls.
