Russia is attacking satellites in Earth orbit and jamming GPS signals
Russiaʼs behavior in space is becoming increasingly hostile, with more frequent attacks on satellites, which, in turn, could block GPS signals from planes, ships, cars, and conventional smartphones, as stated by the Head of the U.S. Space Command, General Jamie Dickinson.
General Jamie Dickinson said attacks on space capabilities such as GPS (a global positioning system) used for navigation, mapping, and timing have become “part of the daily lives of people and countries around the world.” Russia is likely to use GPS suppression systems in Ukraine, and experts say the technique has become “a common tool in Russiaʼs arsenal.”
Ukrainian military sources told the publication that Russia had deployed various radio interference systems since the beginning of the war, and they initially obstructed navigation systems around Chernihiv.
