Yeah, turns out all of this high tech satellite guided shit can be easily defeated by electronic warfare if its used against an enemy that has the time and resources to adapt to it. This is the first time anyone had a chance to figure that out though, because the US has only ever used it against unarmed farmers and goat herders.

Well, at least it's not as bad as the F-35, the multi trillion dollar jet that fails to both electronic warfare and rain.

This is what I don’t get though, I feel like the average hexbear history buff could have told them that.

The average hexbear history buff doesn't have millions or billions bet on people ignoring that fact.
