Western weapons apparently landing wherever Russian jamming signals send them....
Sussed them out.
Time to encrypt our targeting signals.

FAKE NEWS - GPS works fine in my car (how do you think I make it home from work?).
You know all of this coming out at once about Russian EW causing the Ukes missiles to fail in their trajectory comes at the same time Zelensky is screaming Russians are going to sabotage the ZNPP which Russians are running.
A few of those Himars might miss another target and get thrown off their trajectory because of Russian EW you see and hit this plant. Now who is going to get blamed and might it cause NATO involvement? Is a set up coming out of desperation?

we’re waving hankies at the south
That’s a bingo.
We do have better cruise missiles that don’t rely on GPS. But those aren’t given to Ukraine.
It’s about that time, a year into any war, when people rediscover that electronic warfare is a thing.
This is awesome. Light up that ECM, Uncle Vlad!! Hopefully they’ll fire up the best they got so we can collect on that too.
There are lots of claims made for GPS signal jammers.
These have not been shown to work to date, IIRC.
The point would be to jam the missiles reception of the broadcast GPS signal, which it needs in order to know its own location. The missiles themselves would have the target coordinates loaded prior to launch.
The missile guidance system takes the missile location vs the target location and constantly updates the avionics to get the thing from point A to point B.
If Russia has effective GPS jammers these would be short range devices usable as point defense for a specific target zone.
Why do you conceal whose video it is?
Why just say “youtube”?
Yeah I’m sure that never crossed their minds..
I guess you didn’t view the video. Fact is, ALL GPS based systems can be jammed, by many methods. I will not discuss all the legs that can be cut. To date, the only guidance systems not susceptible to jamming are INS systems ( internal laser gyros) which are very expensive, and still must be “ corrected” for error over longer distances.
Ask me how I know, I used to be tasked daily with monitoring an INS systems “ drift”, up to .3 - 1.0 miles an operational hour. From memory, more than 3 miles an hour drift required replacing the very heavy IRU’s.
That said, international media has much about the Russian successes in jamming Ukie GPS systems. Enough to have our Pentagon voicing concern and re- evaluating our own systems… do remember when Iran brought down intact a very expensive US surveillance drone.
Do realize, the West is no longer fighting a bunch of goat herders.
Let me bring you up to speed.

“ Army looks for alternatives to GPS as enemies threaten to jam signals
Gen. Murray: “We have to have multiple ways of getting PNT in the future battlefield because of the threat of jamming.”

Yes Johnny, our DOD has been aware of GPS jamming for awhile. You can do your own research as to what PNT systems are.
Video Title: "Putin's Electronic Warfare Deals Blows To Kyiv, U.S.Supplied Smart Bombs Losing Precision | Details"
1st caption: "Russia's electronic war fare blunts Ukraine's assaults" restating the title.
2nd caption: "US guided weapons failing against Russian jammers?" and now the gradual qualifying begins.
3rd caption: "Is electronic warfare Russia's answer to Western weapons?" Second rhetorical question.
Skipping to get to where HT finally gets to the source material.
"A recent RUSI report says the performance of JDAM glide bombs may also be affected."
"Jamming is not causing JDAMs to stop working, but it is risking their accuracy – arguably a key selling point of the weapon"
So the video goes from asserting a important certainty, to questions, to a maybes and we really don't know yet. Ukraine started using GMLRS July and JDAMs early May this year. If Russian jamming was causing GPS guided weapons to miss we would already know.
Months-old story. Hasn’t Gamey got anything new?
LOL. Do you think that they are not encrypted?
If Russian jamming was causing GPS guided weapons to miss we would already know.

We do know, and the Pentagon has been pissing in their pants for a few years. Hint: Jamming is old tech, spoofing is the concern that has been very, very successful.
Take some time to read the links I posted., you will be enlightened.
Nothing jams inertially guided system. Drift?? With 10 minutes of flight time?
All things old are new again.
