Russia is jamming 'sophisticated' US weapons being used in Ukraine, making them useless, report says
Business Insider ^ | August 4, 2023 | Tom Porter

Bryan Clark, a senior fellow at Hudson Institute, a US think tank, told BBC News that Russia's electronic-warfare capability had significantly improved during the conflict with Ukraine.

He said that Russia was now deploying hundreds of small, mobile electronic-warfare units along the front line, having previously relied on large, cumbersome units that could be easily targeted.

Clark told the BBC that Russian technologies were able to jam missiles' GPS coordinates, disable Ukrainian drones, and suppress Russian radar signals that were used by Ukraine to identify targets to attack.

This is what I warned about at the start of the war when Russia was doing terrible. Eventually they will learn some stuff and that will make our nation more vulnerable in the long term.

Remember when Russia was looting Ukraine washing-machines to extract the micro-chips?

Thanks NY Times!

Idk how many times I have posted about this.
In 2000 I met the ten yr old son of a Russian couple we were staying with for awhile.

He spoke perfect English. No accent.
He was deciding on his third language to learn.

Russian schools are tough. Look what we are graduating.

So it always made sense to me that Russia has young men who are far more educated and helpful.

It’s been known for decades that GPS is easy to jam.

I saw a video of a lawnmower that was a robot in Russia, and they wrote about it.
Then they said it was built from washing machine parts from Ukraine.

Russians do have a sense of humor.

The guy tennis players all seem to have intelligence and a self deprecating sense of humor.

Very fine Literature as well.

The Battle Plan will go perfectly, ...

until first contact with the enemy.

Then, Class Is In Session, and the first word of the day is: Adapt.

I’m vaguely recalling the Serbians jammed GPS during the Balkan wars of the 1990s.

I was reading your post and thinking about the YouTubes l have seen where gen Z’s are asked basic questions anyone should know arithmetic, history etc but they are absolutely clueless. They could name all of the khardashians.
