Article says they turned it off so it wouldn’t jam Russian equipment. I think a more plausible explanation is that the jammer generator ran out of diesel and Russians were too lazy to fill it up.

Russian tech at its finest. They were actually considered a rival to the USA at one time. What a joke they are.
Now they need a jammer for anti jamming bombs. And then the anti jamming jamming bombs will come.
Oh ruSSia, can’t you ever win?
It was likely not operational at the time, but still, the irony.
Yes, I am laughing. And so are you!
You can’t jam GPS with microchips from stolen washing machines
A solution comes to mind.. Fit drones with sensors that can detect the direction of strong radio signals. When the control signal is jammed, or GPS is lost, it switches to homing in on the jammer itself. You could send a couple of FPVs without even knowing where the jammer is exactly, when they panic and turn it on you will find out..
Irony can be wonderful sometimes.
Yesterday there was a post of a drone jamming set-up being obliterated by something, JDAM maybe, filmed by a drone. What jammers doing??
So, is this kind of like one of those “Murphy’s laws of combat” type things?
Similar to “Remember: tracers work both ways”?
In this information war, Ukraine may not be telling the whole truth. They may have figured out a way to home in to the jammer.
The Russians have their own gps system (GLONASS) so the fact they’re saying it was disabled to prevent their own interference is either nonsense, or a demonstration of yet another non-functional russian military system.
I’m going even further and saying that it just plain didn’t work.
Fuckin beautiful.
Depending on the bomb used, it is quite possible that it used inertial guidance for the last few kilometers, when it’s GPS receiver was jammed.
It doesn’t necessarily mean that the jammer didn’t work, although I would like to believe it myself actually.
This reminds me of missiles for Patriot system which will target the jammer if you try to jam the radar xD Ultimate troll missile =)
Temu purchase.
That’s so ironic, it’s funny. So fucking funny.
