This is where I get to laugh at US Army Field Artillery officers who claimed drones can't match the firepower of field artillery for point targets.

Their Excalibur 155mm guided shell has a _6%_ hit rate in a GPS denied heavy jamming environment.
Meanwhile Baba Yaga drones have very heavily jamming resistant adcock antennas and kinematically operate above enemy main jamming beams to deliver PGM.

There is a physical reason why Excalibur can't operate in a heavy GPS jamming environment.
It is too small to have multiple CRPA antennas to create enough nulls against jamming.
And even GMLRS is having issues with Russian meaconing.

AFU Baba Yaga drones have demonstrated they have more firepower and more accuracy against point targets in a GPS denied, peer to peer, war than US Army 155mm tube artillery and sometimes even GMLRS.
This is when I throw my head back and laugh.
