GPS signals: The Russian Federation turned the Baltic Sea into "Bermuda Triangle" (Cards)

To spread: Russians pose a threat to civilian navigation in the eastern part of the Baltic Sea. Ships enter Russian waters and suddenly disappear from cards. This is stated in the investigation of Danwatch. The Gulf in the eastern part of the Baltic Sea has become a "Bermuda triangle": civilian ships and warships come into Russian waters and suddenly "disappear" from the map. The RF Armed Forces "wander" in NATO airspace.

No one knows where the vessels are, or everything is fine with them, until they suddenly appear in a few days, leaving the sea borders of Russia. The Marinetraffic Services Monitoring Service notes that radars show another place of vessels. The transmitter does not work and ships float like ghosts, creating mysterious patterns as a large circle in the photo below. Hackers are likely to disrupt GPS systems and navigate in general.

Last April, two passenger planes flying from Finland to Estonia turned when their radars suddenly disappeared from view in the Gulf of Finnish. "The tense situation in the Baltic Sea can also affect Denmark. The question is whether the Danish fleet is capable of resisting Russia's threats," the authors of the article conclude.

Ilyin Ilyinin, Deputy Commander of the Coast Gulf in the Gulf of Finnitsa, notes that the Russians are silenced by GPS and use the methods of purpleing to transmit false data on the vessel's location. "Or the Russians have changed the AIS signal (automatic identification system) on vessels, or a GPS signal. Ships are moving near Finland's sea border, but in fact they are not there," he explained. Experts say that it is easy to plug in GPS signals with relatively inexpensive equipment.

Vlad Georgice, Head of General Defense Staff, described a number of constant threats in detail: from electromagnetic interference to floating mines and risks associated with underwater infrastructure. "We are faced with the problems of electromagnetic interference mostly weekly. Another serious problem is drifting mines. From the beginning of the war in Ukraine, we have found 122 such mines in Ukraine," he emphasized.
