Polish media: American GLSDB bombs showed their uselessness in Ukraine due to the work of electronic warfare of the Russian Armed Forces

The GLSDB (Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb) ground-based bombs made in the USA were once highly anticipated by the Ukrainian leadership, hoping to actively use them at the front. But after the transfer to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, they showed their complete uselessness. The Polish information resource Interia writes about this.

According to the Polish press, the main obstacle to the use of such bombs on the Ukrainian front is the active operation of electronic warfare (EW) systems of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. As noted, the electronic warfare systems of the Russian Armed Forces are very effective at suppressing GPS navigation, which is equipped with bombs. After this suppression, the bombs become uncontrollable and their use loses its meaning.

It is noteworthy that previously the Ukrainian side and even a number of Western experts saw the use of such bombs as a way out of the situation with a shortage of ammunition. This was due to the fact that the cost of such ammunition is two times lower than the cost of rockets for HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems.

But, as it turned out, the use of such bombs does not give the desired result. Therefore, the Ukrainian command was forced to practically stop using GLSBD bombs at the front. The Ukrainian side is also unable to cope with effectively operating Russian electronic warfare systems, and many Western military analysts call the electronic warfare system of the Russian Armed Forces one of the best in the world.

    I don’t know how it really is, but it looked impressive on the commercials.

      We need to suggest to the Ukrainians that they give these bombs to ours, they have more experience. ours will definitely launch.

    So it turns out that the UMPB D-30SN will also soon be of no use? Okay, I managed to demolish the TV tower in Kharkov.

      No. It doesn’t work that way. Electronic warfare is not a hindrance for the UMPB D-30SN.

      According to tradition, peremoga turned into zrada. At first, until the antidote was found, it was a formidable weapon. And now the weapon is also not bad, especially against those who do not have powerful electronic warfare. But in response, the UMPB D-30SN appeared.

        Electronic warfare is a hindrance for everyone, it’s just that for some it is more of a hindrance, and for others it is less of a hindrance.
        if anything, our UMPC and UMPB are not based on gps (although if we stick to the term, then yes, on gps, because gps is a Global Positioning System, that is, a global positioning system, and what we call gps is one of many systems and it’s called navstar ) fly using GLONASS. and the pans do not have large effective GLONASS jamming complexes.

    War in general is an expensive business, and conducting effective combat operations costs disproportionately more!!!
    Not only will everyone be able to withstand this... they can’t afford it, which is becoming obvious to many and will definitely reach others.

    I can’t understand why GLSDB with GPS guidance is not effective and is susceptible to the influence of electronic warfare, and for some reason Highmars with the same GPS guidance system are effective despite all the counteraction to electronic warfare and the Russian army drank a lot of blood.

    You need to look at things more broadly and carry out explanatory work among yourself, without being distracted by various petty crap who has the biggest bombs. The forelocks are required to inflict the greatest damage on the eternal enemy in any way; there is no time to fight with white gloves: either indiscriminately smash the forelock rear or have huge problems for themselves in the near future.

    I think the issue is not with GPS and electronic warfare, but with the separation of the glide bomb from the solid fuel booster.
    It goes off at the wrong time and the bomb fails to reach its target.
    The weapon is new, there have been few tests. They were immediately sent “to the front.”

    So American weapons are like that. It never gets anywhere. The Japanese won’t let you lie, and neither will the Germans and Italians.

    First of all, when an American pilot takes the helm of a combat aircraft, he sets up the GPS. If ours find a way to disable this system, the Americans will simply forget how to fight, this is the basis of everything, navigation, artillery, aiming and missile course
