Gregory's Server@randahl What surprises me is why the West isn't doing the same. Tit for tat. In fact, the West could easily disable their GLONASS network for huge swaths along the border.

 @randahl True, but it would hugely help against the drones attacking Ukraine. @collectifission  @elpolacodesplegado @collectifission @randahl well, if EW is considered to be hostile, should we consider ourselves under attack? If so, maybe we should at least make that known to the kremlin. @randahl @collectifission Yep, I thought the same. Make lemonade from those lemons by getting used to operating under EW. But maybe we should be a bit childish and test the experimental Baltic RF link (BaRFlink) to transmit data between NE Poland and the Baltic states. Using the entire useful RF spectrum. With enough power to make the skies over Kaliningrad glow. Totally legit civilian use. 😄 @collectifission @randahl Maybe it's not possible. GLONASS could be hardened against this kind of jamming. It's new, which means they would have time and research to pour into it. Also, we can only see it affecting commercial flights. Military GPS poll much faster (well, read more like) but, I'm no expert.  @Kyebr @collectifission @randahl days before russia began its full scale invasion of Ukraine, public and open sources were among the conjecture that russian forces would use ground based Loran systems to determine their position and would not rely on any space based ones like Glonass. One imagines that like much of the russian invasion plans, that may not have panned out as expected. https://www.gpsworld.com/russia-expected-to-ditch-glonass-for-loran-in-ukraine-invasion/ |
@collectifission In war, hiding your capabilities is often better.
