If this article is even moderately accurate, then this is hard to digest. I didn’t realize that Russian electronic warfare was so advanced and capable. It seems to be having a significant impact on Ukraine’s efforts and bodes very poorly for them. The article didn’t address how they can counter Russian EW capabilities, if at all. 😖

One day before the attacks, it [Starlink] just shut down. It became super, super slow.”
wonder if it’s because they’re calling their ketamine-powered buddy

Source is suspect, basically some dude’s blog. I’d take this with a grain of salt.
Following the trail to the real source of the 90% figure, this doesn’t appear to be a current statistic.
The success rate for the U.S.-designed Excalibur shells, for example, fell sharply over a period of months — to less than 10 percent hitting their targets — before Ukraine’s military abandoned them last year, according to the confidential Ukrainian assessments.
This also is only regarding GPS jamming, which isn’t the only method of navigation. I feel the article is exaggerating quite a bit. I have no doubt GPS jamming was quite effective a year ago, I also have no doubt the Ukrainians have adapted since then.
I haven’t seen anything to suggest that the situation has gotten better since these figures came out. Given that Ukrainian army is currently complaining more than ever, doesn’t seem like they adapted.
Ouch. I actually thought that HIMARS were one of the few successes, but apparently that were only in the beginning, and now they are worthless. Impressive. The level of Russian EW are confirmed from other sources also. I can’t really remember any weapons that have been a success ? All the Western super weapons seem to have been failures.
