I have to wonder if these GPS jammers work as well as the ones used during the second Iraq War?:

South Korean intelligence authorities have reportedly learned that North Korea has developed a device capable of jamming the GPS signals used by state-of-the-art guided missiles and precision bombs, and has been attempting to export the device to Middle East countries including Iran and Syria.

A South Korean government source on Wednesday said they are keeping a close eye on the communist country as they understand that North Korea has developed a GPS jammer by copying a Russian device, and has been looking to export it to the Middle East.

The source added that North Korea has been promoting the GPS jammer to several Middle Eastern countries by offering a better price than the Russian device.

With all the talk about the Iraqi Army’s GPS jammers bought from the Russians before the war, during the war my civilian Garmin GPS worked perfectly fine much less my military GPS PLGR.

How come I can’t help but think that North Korea probably makes GPS jammers as well as they make nuclear bombs?
