russia has reportedly developed a third-generation version of its Kometa navigation chip, aiming to enhance the resilience of its satellite-guided munitions against Ukrainian electronic warfare systems. According to footage shared by russian milblogger and analyzed by radio technology expert Serhii Flash, the new chip improves both the accuracy and EW resistance of russian glide bombs.
The milblogger claimed that this upgraded navigation system has already been used in an airstrike on an arena in Kherson. He also called for russia to deploy the chip widely in an effort to radically target Ukrainian border areas before Ukraine can adapt or develop effective countermeasures.

Furthermore, reports from Kremlin-affiliated sources suggest that the chip is being installed not only on air-dropped munitions but also on Iranian-designed Shahed drones and other heavy strike UAVs, potentially increasing the effectiveness of russia's long-range drone attacks.
This development underscores the ongoing technological arms race in the electronic warfare domain, as russia seeks to maintain the operational effectiveness of its precision weapons in the face of Ukraine's increasingly capable EW defenses.
