I assume Ukraine would be trying to blow these EW systems up using HIMARS/GMLRS/etc? I wonder how hard that is.
- ceejayoz 3y agoThey can be far more mobile than, say, an artillery piece, as they're just spewing out interference. HIMARS is much more useful for targeting things like ammo depots or fixed positions.
- cpursley 3y agoThis issue is EW is wreaking havoc on these GPS guided systems (as are S-400 & BUK interceptions). Not to mention munition supplies for them are dwindling. - https://militarywatchmagazine.com/article/himars-less-effective-uimproving-russian-cntrmsrs https://militarywatchmagazine.com/article/himars-less-effect... - https://www.japantimes.co.jp/opinion/2023/05/03/commentary/world-commentary/u-s-ukraine-ammo https://www.japantimes.co.jp/opinion/2023/05/03/commentary/w...
