By Isabelle Khurshudyan and Alex Horton May 24, 2024 at 10:57 a.m. EDT A Ukrainian artillery unit fires an M777 howitzer at enemy armored vehicles near the town of Snihurivka in 2022. The U.S. system can fire the GPS-guided Excalibur round, which has been rendered ineffective by Russian jamming. (Heidi Levine for The Washington Post) Listen 11 min Share Comment on this storyComment Add to your saved stories Save KYIV — Many U.S.-made satellite-guided ammunitions in Ukraine have failed to withstand Russian jamming technology, prompting Kyiv to stop using certain types of Western-provided armaments after effectiveness rates plummeted, according to senior Ukrainian military officials and confidential internal Ukrainian assessments obtained by The Washington Post. Russia’s jamming of the guidance systems of modern Western weapons, including Excalibur GPS-guided artillery shells and the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, or HIMARS, which can fire some U.S.-made rockets with a range of up to 50 miles, has eroded Ukraine’s ability to defend its territory and has left officials in Kyiv urgently seeking help from the Pentagon to obtain upgrades from arms manufacturers.
