Russia Jamming US-Supplied HIMARS To Ukraine

 

CNN: Russia’s jamming of US-provided rocket systems complicates Ukraine’s war effort

Ukrainian military officials, with the US’ help, have had to come up with a variety of different workarounds as it continues to use the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) which has been perhaps the most revered and feared piece of weaponry in Ukraine’s fight.
