What makes US Precision Guided Missiles “FLOP” In Ukraine?

Posted by in categories: innovation, military

Electronic warfare systems are now able to jam precision guided weapons.


In the midst of ongoing conflict, Ukrainian forces are leveraging US-supplied glide bombs to their advantage. This video delves into the use of two distinct glide bombs: the GLSDB (Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bomb) and the JDAM-ER (Joint Direct Attack Munition-Extended Range). However, these American-made guided weapons are facing challenges due to Russia’s electronic interference, impacting their precision and effectiveness.

Despite the initial success of the HIMARS system in Ukraine’s counteroffensive in September 2022, recent reports suggest that Russian electronic jammers have disrupted the system’s GPS-guided targeting, leading to missed targets. The stakes are high as Ukraine heavily relies on HIMARS to target Russian logistical and military infrastructure.

The video also explores the impact of jamming interference on the operational effectiveness of the JDAM-ER. Despite anti-jamming enhancements, Russia’s advanced electronic warfare systems are influencing the flight path of these intelligent weapons.

This video provides an in-depth analysis of the ongoing electronic warfare and the countermeasures being developed. It highlights the need for continuous innovation and adaptation in the face of evolving warfare tactics. Watch now to understand the intricate dynamics of modern warfare.
