Another US precision-guided weapon falls prey to Russian electronic warfare, US says
A U.S. defense official would not provide specifics, but is likely referring to Boeing’s Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bomb.

“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.”

Some versions of the SDB have guidance systems using GPS/INS. These versions should be able to defeat GPS jammers. Accuracy would be degraded from 3 meters to 10 meters.

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.

Donetsk Oblast, a trio of Ukrainian HIMARS-launched GLSDBs slam into a Russian-held dacha in Paraskoviivka.
