Russia is attacking orbital satellites that transmit GPS signals

Russia's aggressive actions towards satellites in Earth orbit have already been recorded by the United States, Finland and the United Kingdom

Russia is attacking satellites in Earth orbit that transmit and enable GPS signals needed not only for conventional smartphones, but also for aviation or shipping. This was reported by “Ukrainian Truth” with reference to the Times.

Information that Russia is blocking the operation of satellites in Earth orbit, which are responsible for transmitting GPS signals, told reporters the head of the US space command, General Jamie Dickinson. He called “increasing aggression in space orbit to undermine the work of satellites.” .

GPS technology is especially important for the military, including drone control, artillery fire coordinates, and uninterrupted radar tracking of enemy vehicles. Jamie Dickinson said that the US military has evidence that Russia is using technology to disrupt satellite signals, thereby exposing them to serious disruptions.

Significant failures in GPS signals were noticed by American intelligence when the Russians used their electronic countermeasures technique around Chernihiv. Russia deployed equipment to attenuate GPS signals long before the February invasion of Ukraine.

According to The Times, the Finnish authorities also noticed information about these attacks on satellites. The Russians are carrying out similar aggressive actions near its borders. In March, Finnish planes flying near the Kaliningrad region and Finland's eastern border noticed interference with their GPS tracking devices. The intervention came shortly after Finnish President Sauli Niinistö met with US President Joe Biden to discuss the country's accession to NATO. satellites are constantly approaching the satellites of other countries in orbit.

Recall, between the head of “Roscosmos” Dmitry Rogozin and American businessman Elon Musk had a verbal altercationsupply of the latest Starlink satellite systems for the Ukrainian army .
