Ukrainian military officials, with the help of the US, have had to come up with a variety of different solutions as they continue to use the High Mobility Artillery Missile System (HIMARS), which was perhaps the most respected and feared piece of weaponry in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The medium-range missile systems have been hailed as a game-changer in the conflict and have played a key role since they arrived in Ukraine last summer, including last year&#8217;s offensive that allowed Ukraine to take back significant swaths of territory from Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, in recent months, the systems have been made increasingly less effective by the Russians&#8217; intensified blockade, forcing US and Ukrainian officials to find ways to modify HIMARS&#8217; software to counter evolving Russian interference. GPS jamming also affects other &#8220;smart&#8221; weapons provided by the United States, such as Excalibur artillery shells and JDAM guided bombs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It should be noted that the increased use of Russian EW systems in the conflict is an open secret. In particular, reports have recently emerged that the Russians have conducted large-scale tests of EW systems in the Moscow region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Kiev regime complains that the Russians disabled the GPS targeting systems of US-supplied HIMARS missiles.
