Russians were installing equipment to send false GPS signals on the tower hit in the Black Sea - Pletenchuk

The gas tower in the Black Sea, which was attacked by the Ukrainian military today, was not used as a regular service, but to install various equipment that gives false GPS signals, which could affect the safety of civilian navigation. This was stated by the spokesman for the Ukrainian Navy Dmytro Pletenchuk during a telethon, UNN reports .

Details

This location was not used on a regular basis, that is, it was not used for the gas industry, but it was used to install various equipment, including GPS spoofing. This is actually a deliberate action when electronic warfare devices send false GPS signals to interfere with those systems that are guided by them. For example, ships. Given that this is the northern part of the Western Sea, this could affect the operation of our grain corridor. The Russians are constantly engaged in spoofing, which can be seen on various monitoring platforms, as they have a ship somewhere in Simferopol going through the stadium. So they tried to do it in the same way in this location. This could affect the safety of civilian navigation. Some systems are automated at all

He added that in just half a day, personnel with the appropriate equipment were deployed to the tower.

We can note that there were no civilian personnel there. If there had been civilian personnel, they would have made a picture out of it, a scandal, that unfortunate gas workers were working there, but not. The staff was exclusively military

Recall

The Ukrainian military struck at a gas rig in the Black Sea, where Russian military and technical intelligence equipment were deployed.
