The Russian military is buying up jamming devices which it plans to mount on cell phone towers. The idea behind it is simple — the Kremlin could switch on the jammers, known as Pole-21 to confuse American GPS guidance.
Russia has about 250,000 cellular base stations.
Russia is betting on disrupting a missile’s receiver just enough to stop a direct hit. “The transmission of an elementary signal from a satellite lies at the foundation of all satellite navigation systems,” Russian military analyst Anton Lavrov told Izvestiya. “Therefore, the slightest deviation from the designated frequency even for milliseconds will result in a loss of accuracy.”
O.E. Watch, a monthly newsletter published by the U.S. Army’s Foreign Military Studies Office, noted that the devices appear to be part of a larger push by Russia to prepare itself for the possibility of major conflict.
“These initiatives coincide with other efforts to prepare Russia for large-scale conventional warfare, such as massive ‘snap’ exercises, reformation of the reserve system, exercising wartime command and control relationships, and testing the nationalization of the industrial base in the event of a transition to a wartime footing,” O.E. Watch stated.

Russian Defense Ministry has adopted a system of jamming "Pole-21" protecting Russian strategic facilities from enemy cruise missiles, guided bombs and drones are used for navigation and targeting GPS satellite system, Glonass, Galileo and Beidou. Latest jammers developed by JSC "Scientific and Technical Center of electronic warfare" (STC EW) - is mounted on the cell tower and integrated with the transmit antennas station RFI P-340RP, combined into a single network, covering impervious to signal satellite navigation dome entire neighborhoods
All four satellite navigation systems, the signals of which the Pole-21 must combat, use closely spaced frequencies, which end up in the interval from 1176.45 to 1575.42 MHz. The fact that even a transmitter with an output of a total of 20 watts in order to jam the radio signals in this range in a radius of 80 kilometers attests to the latest Russian system’s capabilities to create an impenetrable jamming dome….
…At the same time, the system has one shortcoming. As is indicated in its description, “The fact that this complex creates jamming both for the enemy, who is using the GPS radio navigation system, and also for domestic consumers of this GPS radio navigation system and also for its Russian GLONASS equivalent”…
Russia is also looking at leveraging existing GSM cellular towers as a detection system for unmanned aerial vehicles, cruise missiles and light aircraft.

Nonsense. Hillary is already planning another “reset” with Putin.
Hillary is a woman scorned, and she will destroy the earth because she is angry. That is what the Democrats are putting in the WH. God Help the world!
Red Storm Rising: this time with Obama as the Reds
If there is any time this country and the sensible part of the world needed him, it’s now.
Pickles and the other elites will be in their bunkers watching the world burn and actually enjoy it.
Someone out there more familiar with ICBM’s please correct me.
But, before the age of GPS, wasn’t the missile guided by stars? I heard that once. Which made their accuracy about a mile from the target, which was why we needed so many warheads and missiles.
Regardless, if the jammers reduce accuracy, the missile will still get there and the fallout alone will create havoc.
Also, in obama’s first term it was his goal to reduce our nuclear stockpile. My understanding now, is they are updating the delivery methods and not will not reduce inventory. Right?

Not really. Leftist wonk types are already talking about “understanding” Russia again. If Hillary steals the election she will be Putin’s doormat. I have no doubt. Destroying the Republican party will be much more important to her than Syria or Eastern Europe.
There was no such thing as wars before cellphone towers.
Putin won’t do anything unless the beast wins.
Well, the US is “drawing” Rush and Tubal out of the north into the Middle East. Something happens to the West and North and Rush and Tubal leave quickly and never return. This event begins Sorrows. And the appearance of the Anti-Christ who is endorsed by the False Prophet. We are close, my friend
I think even now GPS can be used to get a fix, then inertial guidance can be used.
Strange twist. It is starting to look like Esau’s tribe is smarter than Jacob’s tribe.
Commie Vs Commie (kramer vs kramer)
Oh yeah, Joe Biden will cut your Internet. You don’t know who you’re messing with.
Sure has been alot of tawk bout war lately.
Can you hear me now??
Wasn’t that how Iran used GPS to reset the home base of one of our sentinel drones and bring it down? I remember them parading it around.
LOL
