Its over for St. HIMARS, the orcs have adapted https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/05/politics/russia-jamming-himars-rockets-ukraine/index.html quote:Russia has been thwarting US-made mobile rocket systems in Ukraine more frequently in recent months, using electronic jammers to throw off its GPS guided targeting system to cause rockets to miss their targets, multiple people briefed on the matter told CNN. quote:GPS jamming can affect other “smart” US munitions like the precision-guided Excalibur artillery shells fired from Howitzers and air-dropped bombs called JDAMs. The leaked Pentagon document described the JDAMS as being particularly susceptible to the disruption. 18 rockets a day does not sound like a war winning wunderwaffen to be honest. I guess they set up, launch a rocket or two, then have to flee the scene before counter battery fire destroys them. It doesn't really paint Ukraine as being in charge anywhere along the front Nix Panicus has issued a correction as of 12:50 on May 6, 2023 |

Nix Panicus posted:Its over for St. HIMARS, the orcs have adapted Yeah 18 rockets a day coupled with some of those rockets are only using inertial guidance is really isn't much to speak about at all. That, coupled with the very low reserves of heavier artillery shells and the use of field guns suggests the Russians are using the "go-slow" approach because the Ukrainians really have a limited ability to strike back, especially further away from the frontlines. It also means you going to have continual slow grinding conflict where the Russians will continue to bait the Ukrainians into kill zones but aren't really under any rush. It does leave open the question of if the Russians are going to ever use their reserves in an offensive manner or if the war will just drag on as is.

Its probably not *great* to get hit with a 200 lb warhead, but barring lucky shots directly into an ammo stockpile I don't think one or two is going to completely obliterate an enemy outpost. HIMARS seems more like a harassment system

HIMARS seems more like a harassment system The issue is if they are jamming the GPS trackers, it really isn't going to be that accurate, and 200lb isn't going to be do range over a wide area (a pion HE shell actually has more explosives in it), basically they need a lucky shot if they want to do any damage. It is light harassment at best unless they can hit an unjammed area. (It may not be completely apples to apples but the inertial guidance on a Tochka C is a CEP of about 70 meters, but that is with a warhead that is also about 10 times the size.)

NATO really gave up the chance for an excellent insurgency to instead advertise some new products although from the sounds of it the local population for much of the middle and east of the country might not have been particularly enthusiastic about a guerrilla war

If something knows where it was, then tracks all the movements it makes, it should be able to work out where it currently is. It works for awhile but gets increasingly inaccurate the longer the system goes without an outside fix.

quote:An inertial navigation system (INS) is a navigation device that uses motion sensors (accelerometers), rotation sensors (gyroscopes) and a computer to continuously calculate by dead reckoning the position, the orientation, and the velocity (direction and speed of movement) of a moving object without the need for external references.[1] Often the inertial sensors are supplemented by a barometric altimeter and sometimes by magnetic sensors (magnetometers) and/or speed measuring devices. Basically, it is an internalized system that attempts to keep (in this case) a rocket on a certain course to more accurately hit a target. The problem is without external information (i.e GPS data) it doesn't know where that target is in relation to itself if it gets jammed at a significant distance from a target. Admittedly, the rocket in this case may have used up its motor at the point it is jammed, but it isn't going to be able to adjust itself correctly without additional data, and using its inertial navigation just isn't going to be as accurate. The problem is that if the warhead is moderately sized, it may not actually do that much damage, and if you are only firing 18 or so, you can see the issue. Russian jamming systems can be pretty long range as well, so it be jammed a fair amount away from the target. Ardennes has issued a correction as of 16:18 on May 6, 2023 |

Supposedly Prigozhin has taken Kadyrov up on his offer and has started to move Wagner out of Bakhmut. Coming from Danish public broadcaster, so take it with a huge grain of salt.

You know your home and you know the steps you take so you can walk to your toilet. That's inertial guidance. The missile knows the direction and how fast it flies, so it can sort of hit the toilet.

It began forming in the southern sector of the Eastern Front in late 1942, but was never completed due to the loss of its assets during the Soviet counteroffensives in the Battle of Stalingrad, and no further attempts were made to reconstitute the division.

I can see throwing up the insignias of units that, at the very least, were talked up in post-war historical fantasy's/fabrications. But copying obscure losers who were never even important enough at the time to equip is just another level of hilarity/sadness.
