India Deploys EW Jammers Along LoC to Target Pakistani Satellite Navigation Systems, Aiming to Disrupt Precision Capabilities

India has implemented advanced electronic warfare (EW) measures along its border with Pakistan by deploying high-frequency jamming systems, according to reports circulating on social media platform X dated April 29, 2025.

These systems, positioned near the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir, are designed to interfere with Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals, including GPS, GLONASS, and BeiDou.

The objective is to diminish Pakistan's navigational accuracy, battlefield awareness, and the effectiveness of its precision-guided weaponry, marking a notable increase in electronic countermeasures amid heightened tensions between the two nations.

This deployment comes in the wake of several recent security challenges, including violations of a prior ceasefire agreement along the LoC, confrontations in the Kupwara sector, and a significant attack on April 29, 2025, referred to as the Pahalgam massacre, where 26 tourists were reportedly killed by The Resistance Front (TRF), believed to be linked to the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba. Following these events, India announced its withdrawal from the 2021 LoC ceasefire agreement.

The current EW strategy directly targets Pakistan's military reliance on satellite navigation for critical operations, such as guiding drones, coordinating troop movements, and aiming precision munitions like the Babur missile system.

India possesses substantial electronic warfare capabilities, with estimates from the Centre for Land Warfare Studies (CLAWS) in 2024 suggesting over 50 specialized EW systems are operated by its armed forces.

Notable assets include the SPECTRA electronic warfare suite integrated into the Indian Air Force's Rafale fighter jets and the 'Shakti' EW system employed by the Indian Navy on modern warships like INS Surat, both capable of sophisticated GNSS jamming.

In response, Pakistan utilises its own EW assets, including systems procured from China, such as the DWL-002 passive radar and the Zarb Coastal EW System, alongside commercially available jammers. These are reportedly used to counter Indian operations, particularly drone surveillance along the LoC.

The use of GNSS jamming technology carries consequences beyond the military sphere. Essential civilian services, including commercial aviation, communication networks, and various everyday applications dependent on satellite navigation within the region, are likely to experience disruptions. This highlights the broader impact of the ongoing electronic conflict.

While India holds a technological advantage in conventional EW systems, Pakistan continues to employ asymmetric tactics, such as potentially using localized jamming to aid militant infiltration across the border, presenting an ongoing challenge to Indian defence strategies.

Govt should not escalate this conflict anymore. War is not a solution. Right now, if India goes for a war, then it will be a deadly war, and India will also suffer casualties. A lot of parents will lose their sons. Many children will lose their father. There is no need for any war or any military action. There are a lot of non-military options. Use that. India should focus on its internal security first. Just look at the illegal Bangladeshi immigrants. They are destroying the country. If Govt really cares about national security, then throw them out and apply NRC all over India.

Even if we don't escalate, then too innocent people will die.

More than 36,000 Indians, including civilians, police, and military personnel, have died till date due to Pakistani insurgency activities in India.

Do their lives not matter?

You are acting like Arjun, confused and cowering at the battlefield.

But sometimes, the only way of showing compassion to an evil person is to destroy his mortal body.

This way, his soul might have a better chance in its next life of progressing towards the Almighty."

India is not a war-mongering country. What step should you take against those braindead zombies who actually can't understand your language of humanity? Yeah, what you said at last is absolutely true, but to control that, you need to tackle their master, and that is what India should do.

Best system which works against Pak is not EW jammers but drug jammers. Jam/choke (or stop) drug supply routes. Their minds stop working after 6 pm; once they exhaust existing stocks, they become incompetent to fight battles.

India should definitely use and expand its use. We should disrupt their operations as much as possible. We should use whatever non lethal psychological pressure, information war, cyber attacks, disrupt communication infrastructure, disrupt power, water and gas supplies on them until we physically attack them that hits them hard and fast.

That's the advantage of India's enemies. They have realised long ago that whatever aggression they commit, there will be no response from India.

India isn't going to war!
