Russia is silenced by GPS and communication in the Crimea, protecting against the US: how do inhabitants of the peninsula suffer

The complexes of the RBs of the occupiers can not selectively suppress American systems, so there are big problems in the civilian sector. Residents of individual areas of Crimea are increasingly and more often without mobile communications and satellite navigation through the action of military "muffins" of the Russian army, which, through the means of radio electronic struggle, tries to prevent the satellites and drones of the United States to explore the situation near the occupied peninsula.

About it in his great material writes "Crimea. Realia". From the very beginning of Russia's attack on Ukraine, the connection in Crimea is getting worse and worse every day, the publication notes. Recently, dozens of new towers with antennas have been installed in the coastal areas of the peninsula, which are not always similar to the base stations of mobile communications, but are most likely the means of radio electronic struggle (IDP).

The problems with the reception of GPS signal are constantly complaining by the taxi drivers of Sevastopol, who are more likely to suffer from the lack of connection with satellites, as they cannot engage in passenger transportation. The lack of satellite signals is written on social networks and local motorists, reports the publication, as well as passengers of city buses and trolleybuses complain that the application for tracking public transport has stopped working. The Yandex.

Karta service explains that there is no information about traffic in the selected area of ​​the map, and the "smart transport" application issues a message: "For technical reasons, the broadcast is temporarily suspended". However, as the publication notes, the invaders and communication in the territory of the annexed Crimea became the invaders several years before the start of a full -scale invasion.

Back in 2019, the US Non -Governmental C4ads report stated that Russia was using electronic war equipment to disorient the GPS satellite navigation system. From a technical point of view, this can be done with the use of the Russian complex of electronic struggle "field-21". This remedy remedy makes it possible to stuff the satellite navigation of all systems available today - GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and Beidou.

The system consists of a radio interruption station P-340RP, connected to the transmitting antennas of cellular communication on the towers. "Field-21" can be switched on in one particular area where you want to turn off satellite navigation. The technical details about the system itself are not disclosed. It is only known that its development was engaged in the scientific and technical center of radio electronic struggle.

The radio suppression system is not able to selectively deafen any one satellite navigation system by obstacles throughout the navigation frequency range, which is why the locals remain without communication, the newspaper notes. Earlier, Focus told why sanctions were not harmful to Russian remedies. The stock of the Armed Forces of Ukraine stated that hostile remedies of the EW are "good", because their work does not require artificial intelligence or other "big technologies".
