Jamming is a very inexpensive tactic as the software is relatively cheap and it can take out munitions worth tens of thousands of dollars, Defense One reported.
Yeah, turns out all of this high tech satellite guided shit can be easily defeated by electronic warfare if its used against an enemy that has the time and resources to adapt to it. This is the first time anyone had a chance to figure that out though, because the US has only ever used it against unarmed farmers and goat herders.
Well, at least it's not as bad as the F-35, the multi trillion dollar jet that fails to both electronic warfare and rain.
You forget that we still have Top Gun Maverick with his squadron of F-18s that will come in and save the day for America even when everything else has failed.
Bit tangential but one of my favorite burger-brain trivia facts is that time the USA developed a grenade shaped like a football because they figured burger troops would be more familiar with throwing it. Pure burger moment.
the majority of an S400 system was recently destroyed by atacms. whatever the state of GPS jamming, it seems like HIMARS are still working effectively. ATACMS also have inertial guidance, so even if they lose GPS signal half way to the target, as long as it's stationary, it should still be accurate enough.
