Putin embarrasses Biden; U.S. 'Smart Bombs' fail in Ukraine due to Russian jamming
Hindustan Times ^ | 15 Apr23 | Hindustan Times

Posted on 04/15/2023 9:28:06 AM PDT by delta7

US-made smart bombs provided to Ukraine in the war against Russia seem to be falling victim to Russian signal jamming. According to the leaked Pentagon documents, Russian jamming causes American smart bombs to miss their targets and even fail to detonate in some cases.

In December last year, the Pentagon began sending Kyiv advanced equipment that could convert unguided air-dropped munitions into precision-guided "smart bombs" that can hit Russian targets with a higher degree of accuracy. However, the weapons experienced higher-than-expected dud rates, as per the leaked document. Watch this video to know more.

Pray for Ukraine? Better to Pray for us. As predicted, our wonder weapons are being compromised….great timing, I am sure Vlad is passing on to China our weapons deficiencies…..by the way, Vlad took Boeings advice and is having spectacular results turning their 500, 1,000 and 1500 Kg dumb bombs into smart glide bombs- up to 120 Km standoff range….much, much more devastating than anything Vlad has been using so far…..very economical to.

Recorded video shows just one taking out Ukies Soviet era monster bridges, Their cruise missiles and 152mm artillery required many hits to even lightly damage them.

The dozens of Ukie bridges across the Dniepner are now guaranteed to be destroyed, at will…..that’s if Vlad decides not to use them!

This whole thing is a mess and directly the fault of the Biden Junta.

The public should be shouting.. NOT ONE MORE CENT FOR UKRAINE.

They allegedly embezzled $400 million, I’d bet it was $4 billion and you can bet 10% went to Biden directly, and 40% went to the DNC.

I have stayed out of these debates because there's so much dishonesty coming out of both sides (Moscow and Washington) that it's hard to know what the truth is.

I'm hoping Freepers aren't taking their hostility towards each other in these debates into other debates.

What I’m haring and seeing for ‘Bakhmut’ is no a single intact building, abandoned equipment, weapons of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the bodies of dead Ukrainian nationalists - this is how Artemovsk (Bakhmut) looks now......

In the center of the city, where the Ukrainian military is suffering colossal losses

LOL Hindustan Times! Educate yourself…. US guided systems use both GPS and inertial guidance systems. GPS can be locally jammed. Inertial guidance systems (INS) are jam proof unless someone has a device that can turn off gravity.

Really…. Hindustan Times as a reference source?

The globalist warmongers on FR are happy to trot out every single solitary disreputable leftist source for “reference” to support their propaganda all the time.

Yep Russian bases, depots, objects are successfully intercepting them - you can tell by the sound of the explosions.

Completely makes sense that they would have a perfect counter since Serbia and Kosovo

"I'm hoping Freepers aren't taking their hostility towards each other in these debates into other debates."

Well, there are the sane level headed FReepers on my side and the idiotic irrational sheeple on the other side. But no, I'd never take it out on the mentally challenged.

WE are going to be in a world of hurt if Biden decides to get more involved in the Ukraine conflict.

I do not believe Biden can get a declaration of war from Congress, so this thing going ‘hot’ anytime before 2025 is not happening.

Even if we are hit here on the continent, I just do not see it. Our regime’s priorities are elsewhere.

I am not going to check into your claim re. the leaked classified papers in the news. Maybe a week ago, I first came across a FR news item with the Hindustan Times as the referenced source. This was a print article, not a YouTube link.

The HT article listed a “RT” link as their source for the article. I clicked the RT link and it was a Telegram post by Russia Today, a prominent mouthpiece for the Russian Government.

I will not trust anything from the HT. Nope…

BTW…. I appreciate the respectful reply with your contrary read on things. A few months ago, i was commenting on a similarly themed threed on FR and was bombed with a number of rude, crude responses. One response posted a link purporting to support their opinion and I clicked on it to educate myself. The link was to a malicious website that I imagine was intended to harm my electronics in whatever way. My robust and layered defenses kicked in to block. Zero damage. There are some crazies out there.

Why are you afraid of Indian media? Look at posy #10, here:

“Hindu Times is sourcing what is in the just leaked classified pentagon documents”

And look at post #17 here:

If they can jam ours, I would be certain we can jam theirs and go a step further saying it’s our jamming technology.
