Ukrainian forces are refusing to take delivery of several of NATO's precision-guided munitions, including Excalibur artillery shells and Boeing's small-diameter bombs (GLSDB), because Russian electronic warfare efforts against these platforms have rendered them practically useless.
Russia's Pole-21 Mobile Electronic Warfare system can jam satellite signals, which make our GPS-dependent munitions vulnerable. For example, a survey of 3,000 artillery strikes showed that the effectiveness dropped from 55%, to just 6% because of Russian jamming and spoofing.
