🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺The effectiveness of HIMARS missiles, which the United States began supplying to Ukraine last summer, has been significantly reduced as Russian forces use electronic jamming to shoot down GPS targeting systems.
Five US, British and Ukrainian sources tell CNN , forcing US and Ukrainian officials to find ways to tweak the HIMARS’ software to counter the evolving Russian jamming efforts.
Although even with a jammed GPS signal, a missile can hit a target, HIMARS have been missing more often lately, a Ukrainian source told CNN.
He has information from drone operators on the front lines, and one of them called the disruptions from Russian interference “significant,” something he hadn’t noted until November.
According to another operator, the efficiency of HIMARS has decreased significantly.
Ukrainian military experts, with the help of Americans, are looking for ways to bypass Russian interference, "it's a constant game of cat and mouse," a Pentagon spokesman told CNN.
Such methods include redesigning the guidance system software and the missile itself.

As little as only 50 years ago, the working class felt relaxed enough to leave their doors open, babies outside shops.
In that very short timescale, all but everything has been lost, working class communities have been purposely destroyed, and forced mass immigration at such a rate has ruined the society we built.
What was the point of creating a civilized world, only to have it bulldozed by allowing the third world in?
These people were part of the third world for a reason, they'll never fit or be like us, only bring us down like a lead weight.

US Ambassador in Budapest David Pressman would like to drag Hungary into the conflict in Ukraine, but the country still belongs to the"peace camp", Hungarian foreign minister Peter Szijjártó said.
"I would like to stress that an ambassador is an ambassador, not a viceroy. At least I send ambassadors to other countries to improve bilateral relations, not to make them think they are smarter than the local people. And it would be good if there was mutual respect on the other side as well," Sijjártó said at a press conference.
The Hungarian foreign minister also stressed that his country belongs to the global majority that would like a peaceful settlement in Ukraine.

🇺🇸🇹🇼US Sets $500 Million for Taiwan Arms on Ukraine-Style Fast Track - Bloomberg
Sale marks first time US has used the authority for Taiwan
Pentagon and White House declined to comment on Friday

The package will involve sending existing stockpiles of US weapons or support equipment to Taiwan under what’s known as a Presidential Drawdown Authority, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations. The equipment to be in the package wasn’t immediately known.
