NBC News reported that the US side is investigating the cause of a malfunction in the JDAM smart bomb guidance system that occurred when these bombs were used on Ukrainian territory.
The channel, citing secret documents allegedly belonging to the Pentagon, indicated that among the possible causes of the malfunction, the American side is considering the possible activity of Russian electronic jamming equipment.
The channel said: “The document, which is classified, investigates the reason for the failure of Ukrainian aerial bombs equipped with US-made JDAM guidance systems to hit targets. Among the possible reasons is the possibility that the bomb detonators were not properly prepared and that the problems that have arisen with GPS signals (GPS) are being considered may be caused by the work of Russian jamming systems.
Earlier, Yuriy Ignat, adviser to the Ukrainian Air Force command, confirmed the use of Western “smart bombs” JDAM-ER (Extended Range Direct Attack Munition) by Kiev.
