Russian electronic warfare has significantly impacted the effectiveness of U.S.-supplied weapons in Ukraine, according to multiple reports. The sophisticated jamming technology employed by Russia has blunted the accuracy of Ukraine's long-range glide bombs, including the GLSDBs provided by Boeing. This has led to a substantial reduction in the success rates of these munitions. For instance, the Excalibur GPS-guided artillery shells and HIMARS rocket systems have seen their effectiveness plummet, with the success rate of Excalibur shells dropping to less than 10 percent. As a result, Kyiv has ceased using certain types of Western-provided armaments. Confidential assessments obtained by The Washington Post reveal that the accuracy of some Western weapons has decreased by tenfold due to Russian jamming. The Washington Post reported these findings in 2024.

Here's what we're reading today: The accuracy of some Western weapons has decreased due to Russian electronic warfare, The Washington Post reports. This refers to satellite-guided weapons. In particular, Excalibur missiles and HIMARS systems. Kyiv has stopped using them. https://t.co/5uOGq2nFMe
As claimed, GBU-39 SDB on Ukrainian MiG-29. There are 4 bombs on one such pylon. This means there should be 8 bombs under two wings.
