What point is there in having such a capability if 90% of them mostly miss their targets because of GPS jamming? The missiles aren't cheap. I'm shocked CC didn't talk about this. It's been in the news, admitted by US sources for weeks.

@Rogdub I approximated it myself, as there's a 90% reduction in reported successful strikes by HIMARS from back last year. I assumed the ukrainians would report every successful strike, and the Russians would report every successful interception. Both sources can't be trusted to give accurate and exact numbers, as belligerents in the battlefield. Problem?

@ajr993 did the Pentagon and Ukraine specify how they've "almost entirely mitigated jamming"? If yes, how come they've not been able to do it with the JDAMs which are missing just as frequently as HIMARS? I wouldn't trust cope reports from either side.

Nope, the biggest factor is GPS jamming. Now that the Russians hold Soledar and Bakhmut with their underground systems of networked tunnels and mines, they won't even need to move their supplies further back anymore even if the HIMARS we operating optimally.
