Jamming is a very inexpensive tactic as the software is relatively cheap and it can take out munitions worth tens of thousands of dollars, Defense One reported.
Yeah, turns out all of this high tech satellite guided shit can be easily defeated by electronic warfare if its used against an enemy that has the time and resources to adapt to it. This is the first time anyone had a chance to figure that out though, because the US has only ever used it against unarmed farmers and goat herders.
Well, at least it's not as bad as the F-35, the multi trillion dollar jet that fails to both electronic warfare and rain.
This is the first time anyone had a chance to figure that out though
This is what I don’t get though, I feel like the average hexbear history buff could have told them that.
The average hexbear history buff doesn't have millions or billions bet on people ignoring that fact.
The fact that it also fucked Elons toys is pretty funny
So when people were
about musk being a secret Putinist it was really just starlink being jammed?
All right!
We're jamming
I wanna jam it with you
We're jamming
And I hope you like jamming, too
We're jamming we're jamming we're jamming we're jamming we're jamming we're jamming
But I was told the superior western missile systems are the best by Banderite nazis lol.
They'd have to recruit DPRK soldiers who were trained pushing the trains
Bit tangential but one of my favorite burger-brain trivia facts is that time the USA developed a grenade shaped like a football because they figured burger troops would be more familiar with throwing it. Pure burger moment.
I thought you were misremebering the baseball grenade but apparently they did both lmao
Never underestimate the burger brain. They'll invent Mt Dew flavored pizza before trying foreign food.
I remember an article about how American soldiers stationed in Germany were excited because American fast food chains were arriving near their base so they wouldn’t have to eat local food lol
It's arguably better because now we have to invest in a new solution!
I thought that HIMARS were the ultimate superweapon of the white race? How is this possible?
No that's the next wunderweapon, the Shadow Storm missile (don't pay attention to it's initials or the sonnenrad on the side)
It's just a joke playing on how there are a bunch of pics of Ukrainian soldiers wearing fascist symbols, I haven't seen an SS missile with a sonnenrad painted on the side
"Only one man would dare give me the raspberry...PUTIN!"Shame they didn't have a bachelor in physics to explain how rf signaling works
Don't give them any ideas, they'll start making wire guided himars with comically large spools of wire.
Although this would provide some infrastructural reparations by leaving fiber optic cable laying everywhere
These already exist https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire-guided_missile
Yes, but only for short range stuff like atgms, I'm imagining a himars with 300km of wire spooled up to avoid nefarious Russian jamming
You know what can't be jammed? An artillery shell. Armed with that knowledge I am confident the West will continue dumping money into wunderwaffen
Except some of them can -- some of the US shells use GPS and whatnot to help guide it to the target.
But also the latest "aid package" to Ukraine gave them less than a full day's worth of artillery shells. The US is getting fully tapped out.
Fake news. Everyone knows Russians are digging trenches with spoons and using metal cans attached to strings for communication
