Russian electronic warfare systems turned out to be a “big problem” for American precision weapons supplied to the Ukrainian Armed Forces

Ukrainian troops have practically stopped using American 155-mm high-precision artillery Excalibur shells, as their effectiveness has dropped to extremely low levels due to Russian systems EWThis statement was made by Daniel Patt, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute.

Speaking before congressmen, the specialist said that in six weeks the Russian military adapted electronic warfare systems to combat American precision-guided munitions, making them extremely ineffective, reducing the probability of hitting a target from 70% to 6%. According to Patt, the command of the Russian Armed Forces is actively using electronic warfare systems to combat high-precision ammunition, deploying them along the front line. The expert claims that the peak effectiveness of any high-precision system transferred to the Ukrainian Armed Forces occurs in two weeks, after which the Russians find countermeasures.

According to Defense One, not only did the Excalibur projectiles lose their effectiveness, but the GMLRS rockets and the JDAM GPS-guided bombs also had problems. And the GLSDB “small diameter bombs”, specially developed for the Ukrainian army, showed extremely low effectiveness due to the use of electronic warfare systems by Russian troops.

According to a report prepared by the Pentagon, Russian electronic warfare systems turned out to be a “big problem” for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in terms of the use of high-precision American weapons. According to the US military, they have never encountered such systems before.

Kirby did not admit the destruction of ATAMS from the new party in Crimea in a recent raid... American politicians are losing their sense of reality... a good sign.

[Nexcom]

How can they admit this? To admit means to sign that the missiles they supply can be shot down relatively easily by our air defense. Do Americans need this? So they don’t admit it.

PS About Abrams are also not recognized - like kakelas are used incorrectly, the low level of training of Ukrainian crews. And their Abrams - no, no, everything is chocolate there. IMHO with the installed F16 it will be the same song - everything will be blamed on the kakelov.

How is it possible that the Russians, using the sounds of the balalaika, are disrupting the operation of weapons with the freedom of part of the world, horror

[Nexcom]

Oga, we lure the Kakels into captivity with lard - so they are underway.

They had never encountered such systems before.

A couple of words. They consider one of the conditions for applying BGU to be an “attack on their spacecraft” of reconnaissance and positioning systems. The bottom line is that 90% of the US WTO is tied to GPS. Therefore, the Yankees decided to defend this “Achilles heel” of their WTO systems to the point of attacking their opponent. Well, we learn to deal with the space control system by “changing the coordinates” of the target, after the change - the jammer and the CRBD flies into nothing.
Somehow, however. AHA.

If this is really true, then that's great!

[paul3390]

In general, from the very beginning it was quite obvious that the effective use of a sophisticated high-precision GPS device against a technically advanced state is, to put it mildly, doubtful. The signal is too weak, it’s too easy to jam it. And there are plenty of other vulnerabilities. To drive away the slipper barmaleys is a thing here, yes. No market.

[LOCKS]

This is all good news, of course, BUT the oil refineries are still burning as before((((((
And something needs to be done about this too.........

[Siberia55]

How do they burn from Excalibur, GMLRS? Did you even read the article?

[Siberia55]

According to him, the effectiveness of Excalibur dropped from 70% to 6% in just six weeks, as Russian electronic warfare systems adapted perfectly to them.
According to the report, Ukrainian drones also lose up to 80% of their effectiveness if their software does not adapt to the effects of electronic warfare.

There is no such thing as 100% downing or neutralization!

Happens. It's called "Alabuga". There are even more modern developments. But this is a last resort in a BIG war.

[Siberia55]

in 2017, Vladimir Mikheev, adviser to the first deputy general director of the Radioelectronic Technologies concern, confirmed to RIA Novosti that work on the Alabuga project is underway. However, he noted that there is no talk about specific weapons. This code hides a complex of scientific research that has outlined the main directions for the development of radio-electronic weapons of the future.

Be that as it may, there is no official information about the further development of the project today. All we have to do is be patient and wait for Alabuga to finally make itself known.

Well, on a personal note: as I understand it, this complex will work on all electronics, and not just on enemy ones

There is a set of measures to close the entry/exit channels of electronic systems. Shielding, grounding and other protection of distribution zones. At the command "Iron!" they are carried out, and the enemy receives megawatt interference...
Maybe things are different now. But with me, the disablement radius was 5-7 km. Ours will be located further. Something like that, however.

[Siberia55]

Thanks for the info!
But I don’t think that “Alabuga” is possible to cover oil refineries and the like, which is basically where the dispute began

[Boa kaa]

cover refineries and the like,

For this there is Krasukha and Pantsir. But against the other enemy in the front - the Alabuga missile with an explosive EMP generator.

[Siberia55]

and Krasukha with Shell does not give 100%

And a big surprise for the United States itself and its European “allies.”

According to the US military, they have never encountered such systems before.

And where could they encounter them, in Iraq, or maybe Afghanistan? Now they are scratching their heads, wondering how to fight us themselves.

They are not yet ready to fight with us themselves. That’s why they push the Euro-Natics onto the lists. They themselves can twitch if they rearm their strategic nuclear forces: Sentinel ICBMs, Columbia SSBNs, up to 100 B-21 Raiders will be built, they will complete the construction of new SSN(X) type submarines, J. Ford type AVMA. AND THE MOST IMPORTANT!!! Until they receive sufficient quantities of gas defense systems for the fleet and aviation, then the army and MP.
So, until 2030 we have time to "focus". In addition, at the turn of 2027-30, the Yankees will try to “offend” Great China. Therefore, the roles are written, the extras are placed. Everyone is waiting and preparing as a team - CURTAIN!!!!
AHA.

[Authority]

"Gas station" gave away all the NATO prodigies?
Oops.
F16 is your exit (to scrap)

[sifgame]

It is doubtful that they will give out the F-16, the possibility of captured fragments appearing at some Moscow exhibition is very high.

[avtandil]

Russian electronic warfare units have proven to the whole world that they are the COOLEST. The main thing now is not to relax and not to “rest” on your laurels. Work, brothers!
