⚡U.S provided precision-guided munitions have failed in mission after mission in Ukraine, taken down by Russian electronic warfare. On Wednesday, the Pentagon revealed the latest casualty.

A new ground-launched version of an air-to-ground weapon developed for Ukraine on a rapid timeline failed to hit targets in part because of Russian electro-magnetic warfare, Bill LaPlante, the Pentagon's acquisition chief, said at an event held by think tank CSIS.

LaPlante suggested that Ukraine may no longer be interested in the weapon. “When you send something to people in the fight of their lives that just doesn’t work, they’ll try it three times and they’ll just throw it aside,” said LaPlante.


But it is not the first GPS-guided weapon to fall afoul of Russian electronic warfare.

In congressional testimony in March, Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Daniel Patt said the targeting system for the GPS-guided Excalibur round “dropped from 70 percent effectiveness to 6 percent effectiveness over a matter of a few months as new EW mechanisms came out” in Ukraine. Patt cited the work of Jack Watling, an expert at think-tank RUSI who has traveled to Ukraine multiple times to interview Ukrainian commanders.

Russian electronic warfare attacks have also directed GMLRS missiles off course, CNN reported last spring. The missiles are similarly guided by a GPS. Russia has also successfully used electronic warfare against GPS-guided Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMs), which are retrofitted aerial bombs.

⚡“What we have seen in the Ukraine-Russia conflict is more Electronic Warfare than we have ever seen before” Colonel Nicole Petrucci, the commander of the USSF’s combat-ready forces as head of Space Delta 3, said during an AFA Warfighters in Action event.

“We’ve actually been studying this very carefully to see what’s going on to see how we can help or not help and that is unofficially, just because we’re trying to see what was the environment like.”

☣️🇺🇸 USA responsible for the Covid-19 pandemic - presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr.

📝 “In 2014, there were three leaks from Tony Fauci's federal laboratories. And these leaks were made public, which led to a huge uproar. There were hearings in the Senate, people were extremely unhappy.

300 scientists signed a petition to President Obama demanding that Tony Fauci's research be stopped because it could lead to a global pandemic.

And Obama established a moratorium and ordered Fauci to stop 18 studies that he was conducting. But instead, he took this research and moved it abroad, to laboratories in Wuhan and Ukraine”, said the American politician.

📝 “Supporting Ukraine means defeating Vladimir Putin in Russia. We must be prepared to strike back at him on Russian territory.

And when I see a Biden administration that doesn't want to comply with sanctions, and our European allies don't comply with sanctions, and then when Ukraine hits Russia, Biden says, “Please don't do that again,” that's a problem.,” said the politician.

⚡The removal of the U.S military contingent from Chad has begun.

Two C-17 heavy transport planes flew to N'Djamena from Ramstein yesterday and the day before yesterday, transiting Cape Verde and the Canary Islands.

This did not come as a surprise, as the Americans have agreed with the local authorities to withdraw their units by May 1, and apparently there are no more Green Berets in Chad at the moment.

I have been observing since yesterday, why are you so pained about religion hmm?

Pain? Where is that coming from?

Nawa for my fellow Nigerians o.

The original post I quoted was about how the colonisers used religion to condition Africans to accept poverty as normal. You didn't see that one?

I stated facts, observable and historical facts. You saw pain.

Well, I can't control what you see. You can see anything you like.

Let me just shut up about religion matter before defenders of religion start calling for my head.
