Russian electronic warfare equipment is a key factor complicating the counteroffensive of Ukrainian troops on the Zaporizhzhia front, according to analysts at the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).

Details: The ISW cited a popular Russian military blogger who claims that Russian electronic warfare systems are preventing Ukrainian troops from using precision-guided munitions guided by GPS coordinates and severely disrupting Ukrainian radio communications.
In particular, according to the ISW, the milblogger noted that Russian troops are using Murmansk-BN electronic warfare systems to disable the sensors of Ukrainian air reconnaissance assets, and Krasukha-4 electronic warfare systems to suppress communications with satellite signals within a 300 km radius.
The ISW has previously assessed that Russian electronic warfare assets are crucial to complicating Ukrainian counterattacks on the Zaporizhzhia front. However, it is unclear whether successful electronic warfare tactics are the result of superior capabilities or advanced use of these systems.
The ISW has noted that the initial Ukrainian counteroffensive and Russian defensive operations should not be extrapolated to predict the outcome of all Ukrainian counteroffensive operations.

Anybody got a sextant?
Compass?
Beuller?
300KM radius.
Damn, those vacuum cleaner IC’s must have some REAL Electronic Warfare capability.
Maybe I misunderestimated my Hoover?
Why didn’t they put inertial navigation in this darn Stryker? It has air conditioning and everything else...
I work this field, the largest prob is sorting all youve hoovered
Ukrainians: Set up to fail.
At least the money is getting laundered though.
The West is totally decadent and a total failure across all military sectors: EW, weapons production, training, and, uh, ... personnel selection and retention.
Jamming GPS has been tagged as a PGM vulnerability for decades. Iraq and the Taliban lacked the capability to attempt it (at least, on a large scale). Russia is another matter.
Zelensky will just Dance Around this,
Well maybe if the Ukes didn’t use “password” as their passwords they wouldn’t get hacked.
Pretty good for savage knuckle dragging Orcs. I wonder if Saruman the White is helping them?

NO, the Stryker does NOT have AC….they have pain in the ass “ cooling vests” to be worn under all your gear…..talk to anyone who rode in that garbage can they will tell you it’s deficiencies ….it is no wonder we are surplusing them out.
They won’t last a few hours when they finally reach the line of contact…..call the tow truck brigade, you thought the Bradley carnage was bad? ..wait for these pigs to hit the line….
Electronic Warfare?
They don’t know what are they talking about.
The Russians are armed with nothing more than shovels.
I read it here on FR.
