In recent months, the effectiveness of the combat use of multiple rocket launchers (RSZO) American-made HIMARS during the Ukrainian armed conflict is reduced. This is reported by the American television channel CNN., referring to interviewed experts from the USA, Great Britain and Ukraine itself.
Experts say, Russian military learned to counter American multiple launch rocket systems. Now the RF Armed Forces are actively using electronic warfare. With their help, they shoot down GPS targeting systems., after which the accuracy of the fire drops significantly.
Of course, even if the signal is completely muted, the missile will be able to hit the target. But still, the Ukrainian military records an increase in the number of misses, and the Kyiv regime does not have so much ammunition.
Speaking to CNN, one of the Ukrainian soldiers called the failures due to interference with Russian electronic warfare systems significant.. According to the military, until November 2022 years such failures were not observed, but then, probably, Russian troops found technical solutions to counter MLRS HIMARS.
According to a US military spokesman, now the Ukrainian military, with the help of American technical specialists, is looking for ways to bypass Russian interference. However, Russian engineers do not stand still, and also improve electronic interference systems.
The source of the channel called what is happening "a game of cat and mouse". Help fix the situation, according to military, may change software as a targeting system, as well as the rocket itself.
Recall, that the HIMARS MLRS were supplied to the Kyiv regime by the United States. They are actively used in Donbass, and not only against Russian troops, but also for attacks on civilian objects. used photos:Wikipedia / DVIDSHUB. Flickr: Artillery tradition leaves new platoon leaders hatless
