How does the world’s largest cartel of arms producers solve the issues with the precision of their weapons? Well, more weapons! With the Kiev regime potentially acquiring thousands of additional JDAMs, US MIC contractors get even more billions of American taxpayers’ dollars.

Electronic warfare (EW) is one of the most important aspects of modern military capabilities and is often the litmus test of how advanced the state and its armed forces are. It’s part of the “invisible” and yet extremely intense battle that we usually cannot see directly. However, its impact is wholly undeniable. Russia is among the world leaders in EW and its warfighting capabilities in this regard are a source of pride for the Eurasian giant, but also fear for its adversaries. Russian dominance in EW on the frontlines of Ukraine is so comprehensive and massive that it’s one of the few things the mainstream propaganda machine never dared to question or ridicule. Even Russian strategic thermonuclear capabilities were subjected to propaganda attacks at times, but its EW capabilities – never. And for good reason.
And yet, as with everything concerning the mainstream propaganda machine, we must tread carefully. This is especially true when it comes to the media citing the Pentagon “leaks” as their primary source of information. Needless to say, an actual leak would require an inadvertent release of classified information and most intelligence experts agree it’s extremely unlikely there was anything inadvertent about it. However, this is not to say that all information connected to the “leak” is false. On the contrary, its relatively elaborate nature implies that much of it is indeed true, but it can be difficult to discern what exactly. One of the few “leaked” facts we can surely believe concerns precisely Russian EW capabilities. Still, this begs the question – why?
To answer that, we should first dissect and specify the claims of the mainstream propaganda machine. The “leaks” include a massive amount of information, including the claim that US-made JDAM (Joint Direct Attack Munition) bombs are failing in Ukraine due to successful Russian EW measures. The “leak” documents not only review the use of Russian countermeasures to make JDAMs ineffective, but also indicate that in some cases this results in failure to even detonate. It seems this includes the JDAM-ER (Extended Range) bombs that the troubled Biden administration sent to the Kiev regime in order to provide certain battlefield advantages to its forces. A futile effort, it would seem now, although the documents suggest that at least a thousand JDAM kits have been sent so far.
Politico claims that “Russia is using GPS jamming to interfere with the weapons’ targeting process, according to the slide and a separate person familiar with the issue who’s not in the US government”. The report further states that “American officials believe Russian jamming is causing the JDAMs, and at times other American weapons such as guided rockets, to miss their mark”.
Mick Mulroy, a former Pentagon official and retired CIA officer claims: “I do think there may be concern that the Russians may be jamming the signal used to direct the JDAMs, which would answer why these munitions are not performing in the manner expected and how they perform in other war zones.”
This was quite an unpleasant surprise for the Kiev regime as it expected the JDAMs to be a “game changer” providing key tactical advantages that Russia supposedly “couldn’t match”. However, it’s not just that this completely false sense of security fell apart as a result, but it turns out that the performance of other much-touted NATO-sourced weapons is little more than PR optics. The “leak” suggests that even the M270 and HIMARS rockets are being successfully countered by Russian GPS jamming tactics. Many documents consistently show that the Kiev regime forces are generally beset by chronic munitions and advanced weapons shortages, and having Russian EW capabilities preventing precision targeting is exacerbating this exponentially, despite countless billions in weapons provided by the political West.
This is where we come to the “solution” the American Military Industrial Complex (MIC) may come up with. So, how does the world’s largest cartel of arms producers solve the issues with the precision of their weapons? Well, more weapons! With the Kiev regime potentially acquiring thousands of additional JDAMs, obviously by using funds provided by the political West, since the Neo-Nazi junta itself is “financially dead”, as Hungarian President Viktor Orban accurately assessed, US MIC contractors get even more billions of American taxpayers’ dollars. The contract to alter and/or upgrade thousands of JDAMs and other munitions would provide long-term contracts to the likes of Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, BAE Systems, etc. This could be one of the few logical answers to the question of why the mainstream propaganda machine suddenly felt the urge to tell the truth for once.
However, we shouldn’t fall into the trap of thinking this has anything to do with altruistic motives or even the desire to make the Kiev regime a more effective fighting force. The main goal primarily revolves around causing as much death and destruction as possible, particularly to civilian infrastructure in the Donbass and other areas of former Ukraine. This has twofold advantages for the US. First, Russia is left with destroyed buildings and infrastructure that need to be renovated and second, the mainstream propaganda machine can portray the destruction as caused by Russia. This also explains why the Neo-Nazi junta continues using Western weapons that keep missing and hitting civilian areas. Perhaps the only positive aspect in all this is that the sheer magnitude of corruption and cronyism in both the political West and Kiev may very well accelerate Russian victory.
Read: “No we did not sell bad weapons to kiev it is all those pesky russian electronic warfare capability. Yes of the country wie tell you on other days who have to steal computer chips from washing maschines to use it in their arms. No no their is no logic hole thats just western logic that’s different.”
chips from washing machines managed to liquidate the NATO HQ in Lvov located at a depth of 130 meters
There’s never been any proof of that happening. The source is ONE, online blog. No official comments from any side, no photos, no videos. Stick to provable truth or you’re no better than a white house jew or coon at the DoD or ukie pig.
Mark Urban, to my recollection, wrote in 2015 that NATO’s dominance in warfare was at an end and Russia would defeat NATO using conventional weapons. I suspect the addition of Finland to NATO isn’t a game changer to the opined outcome. In actuality, I further suspect the addition of Finland to NATO and eventually Sweden would make it easier for Russia to simply dissect the Scandinavian countries in half along the same latitude in the highly unlikely event of a wider European war. I would hate to live in Helsinki, which presumably is now on the Russian nuke list, with Stockholm waiting in the wings to be the next addition.
Nukes, shmukes. One incendiary shell would light up Finland like an Xmas tree.
Pretty soon every Somali sandal shlopper will be able to redirect US democracy missiles back onto their launchers.
Chop chop, down to the last ukrop. Time’s a waistin’ boys.
Meanwhile, the damn russian military industrial complex is accelerating and reach about 70-80% capacity on the established production units. But, hey, that is not enough…….russians are constructing 4 more huge repair plants, 3 more ammo plants, and another 4 for different military hardware (from tanks to planes). In that year and 2 months related personnel hired in that industry quadrupled. Any minute passed means more tons of ammo prepared to fall onto hohol nazi bitches. And that’s indeed a very good projection for the upcoming denazification events.
A couple of basic reasons. It’s never anything more than with Americans. It’s firstly an excuse for Ukraine losing and second, an excuse and call for more money for their bosses at the ‘defense’ companies.
Is the West having a T34 moment?
Putin: “We have not even started yet. We are still testing our new equipment and our preparedness to defend Donbass”.
