Recent reports indicate that American precision-guided munitions, including the Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB) and the 155mm M982 Excalibur shells, have experienced a significant decrease in effectiveness in Ukraine due to Russian electronic warfare. The effectiveness of the Excalibur shells, for instance, has dropped from 70% to 6% within six weeks, as reported by Daniel Patt, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute. This decline has been attributed to Russia's deployment of new electronic warfare (EW) mechanisms that suppress GPS signals, rendering these weapons less effective. The Pentagon, with comments from U.S. Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment William LaPlante, and the Kyiv-based Centre for Defence Strategies have acknowledged these challenges, noting that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have ceased deploying these munitions on the battlefield.
