Back in early 2022 when the war in Ukraine first started, the United States announced the delivery of GPS-guided Excalibur artillery shells to Ukraine. Pro-Kiev media outlets, which is most of them, predicted that the $100,000-per-shot projectiles would make "Ukrainian artillery a whole lot more accurate" and "cause Russia a world of pain," but that is not what is happening.
Within weeks of receiving the Excalibur shells, Ukraine's military commanders told the Journal that Russia's signal-jamming equipment effectively fed false coordinates to shells while interfering with their fuses. The end result was the shells veering off course and falling to the ground as duds.
"By the middle of last year, the M982 Excalibur munitions, developed by RTX and BAE Systems, became essentially useless and are no longer employed," the Journal reported in a rough paraphrase of what the Ukrainian military commanders revealed.

Russia already won
During the 1980s, the Soviet Union heavily invested in electronic warfare (EW) technology. Its leaders felt as though EW was critical at the time since the U.S. was busily developing guided missiles and shells.
By the time the 1990s came along, Excalibur shells were starting to be used by the U.S. in Iraq and Afghanistan. Since that time, many top officials and analysts in Washington have confirmed that Western guided missiles and shells are simply no match for Russia's advanced EW technology.

"The Russians have gotten really, really good" at interfering with guided munitions, confirmed William LaPlante, U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment.
There was a time towards the start of the most recent conflict when the U.S. thought its weapons would be powerful enough to help Ukraine seize Crimea. The goal was to give Crimea to Ukraine by last winter, which obviously never happened.
"We probably made some bad assumptions because over the last 20 years we were launching precision weapons against people that could not do anything about it," said Ret. U.S. Gen. Ben Hodges. "And Russia and China do have these capabilities."
Even the best that NATO has to offer is a complete dud against what Russia has. NATO's newly developed Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB), co-developed by Boeing in the U.S. and Saab in Sweden, was pulled from the battlefield not long after being given to Ukraine by the West after the technology was determined to be completely ineffective against Russia's EW systems.
Ukraine's Western-provided GMLRS missiles, which are launched by the HIMARS multiple-launch rocket system, are likewise ineffective despite having once been described by pro-Kiev puppets as a "game changer" that would result in a win for Ukraine.
No matter what the West throws at it, Russia continues to declare that it will still achieve victory in the end. Continuing to fight Russia is a "futile project" that will only push the Volodymyr Zelensky regime to "commit new crimes," said Moscow's ambassador to Washington, Anatoly Antonov.
"Western delusions are becoming comical," one commenter wrote about all these revelations. "The U.S. is still sending air defense systems to Ukraine, so what happened to the ones they already sent? That's right: they failed miserably."
"The Russians can hit whatever target they like whenever they like. And as for the F-16s: from where are they going to take off? The airfields in Ukraine required for F-16s have been destroyed."
