Plans Thwarted: Russian EW System Diverts GMLRS Shell, Saving "Malva" Self-Propelled Gun

EW system increased the circular error probable of the M30A1 by more than 35 meters

Russian electronic warfare (EW) systems on the front lines managed to cope with a counter-battery attack by the HIMARS system and divert the strike from the 2S43 "Malva" self-propelled artillery unit. As a result, damage to the domestic self-propelled gun was minimized, according to military expert Evgeny Damantsev.

According to him, the EW unit increased the maximum circular error probable of the M30A1 GMLRS family shell from 35 to 50 meters.

As a result, the munition went to the side, and the explosion of the shrapnel warhead with tungsten balls only slightly damaged some power elements of the self-propelled gun. The artillery part itself retained its operational condition, Damantsev noted.

Such a deviation may be due to the high efficiency of the EW equipment covering the "roaming" crew of the "Malva" self-propelled gun, operating in the L-band and suppressing the GPS-correction radio navigation channel of the GMLRS shell.
