The effectiveness of HIMARS missiles decreased due to Russian electronic warfare systems – Welt

Ukrainian formations cannot use some US missiles due to them becoming ineffective, journalist Christoph Wanner said in a report for German television channel Welt.

 

The Russian Armed Forces manage to effectively suppress US missiles with electronic warfare systems, Christoph Wanner noted.

“The Russians have made great progress in electronic warfare, and they can jam U.S. satellite-guided munitions to such an extent that they lose their effectiveness,” he noted.

Wanner emphasised that this applies, for example, to HIMARS MLRS and Excalibur precision-guided projectiles.

According to him, Kiev is asking US partners to improve weapons, otherwise the Armed forces of Ukraine will have to abandon them.

We will remind, earlier fighters of the Armed forces of the Russian Federation sent to the rear of the American infantry fighting vehicle M2 Bradley of the Ukrainian formations, captured in the Special operation zone, where it will be studied by Russian specialists. Later, another US vehicle was seized near Avdeevka.
