I did not dig up for a detailed technical write up, but have a plenty media sites mentions (sorry for original Russian content):
Just news, mentioning this, back to 2016 https://lenta.ru/articles/2016/11/07/gpsoff/ https://lenta.ru/articles/2016/11/07/gpsoff/

Hope that helps!
P.S. And yes, I personally see this behaviour near Kremlin. It's almost impossible to order a taxi nearby.
- lucb1e 7y agoWow, this is really happening. I'm surprised to hear this, very interesting, thanks!
- campuscodi 7y agoWell, yes. It's happening. That's why there's a report about it.
- twistiti 7y agoYou can also check [1]: "through a collaboration with researchers from The University of Texas at Austin, we expose the use of GPS spoofing in active Russian combat zones, particularly Syria, for airspace denial purposes. This is a capability scarcely reported in the public domain. Using data from a scientific sensor on the International Space Station (ISS), we are able to identify ongoing activity that poses significant threats to civilian airline GPS systems" - works best on desktop though [1] https://www.c4reports.org/aboveusonlystars https://www.c4reports.org/aboveusonlystars
- thresh 7y agoThat does not happen all the time though. I would say geolocation works nicely pretty much all the time. Not sure why it's not possible to order a taxi, since you're not supposed to provide your own coordinates but rather a point where you want to be picked up.
