“However, the weapons were largely designed for a period before spoofers were so easy to set up, Clark said. “You didn’t really see the advent of miniaturized, capable GPS spoofers until the last ten years or so, because you needed the micro-electronics to be able to do it,” Clark said.”
“Russia has saturated the front with electronic warfare, Clark said. Truck-mounted electronic warfare systems primarily focused on jamming drones are located every 6 to 9 miles on Ukraine’s frontline, he said.”
Are the RuZZians dumb enough to get bogged down in urban fighting for Kharkiv?
OF COURSE!
“Russian supply trucks destroyed in the border area in the Kharkiv region.”

If there are any GPS only GLSDBs in Ukraine's inventory, they should be upgraded to GPS/INS guidance.
Seems there have been a number of strikes in the past few days using GPS guided weapons. France's AASM, our JDAMs, and today a precision strike using 4 GLSDBs.
