"missile defence", ha. As a russian, I now have to buy more foil for the cases of uncontrollable urge to march, sing hymns and praise Putin.
jokes aside, near kremlin now there's a zone where most gps devices are really off. Jamming is already used, though most think it's primarily designed to counter drones, not rockets.
- drzaiusapelord 10y agoand that's the only scenario this stuff makes sense. Missiles aren't wholly dependent on GPS and are designed to expect jammed or spoofed GPS. More than likely this to deter drone attacks which are GPS dependent. Sounds like the Kremlin is worried about drone attacks at their leadership. I suspect the blowback from Syria is heating up, on top of that passenger plane from Egypt that was recently blown up. Playing it off as protecting Russians from "missile attack" is domestic propaganda to not admit that serious blowback against Russia from Islamic terrorists is a large and growing concern.
- kw71 10y agoHow is GLONASS affected near Kremlin?
- codesnik 10y ago"civil" glonass is probably affected in the same way, I think, but I don't really know. They use some 3rd party (chinise?) gps/glonass jammer which shows that signal is coming from one of international airports (VKO in case of kremlin jamming), which are already a no fly zone for most civil drones
