To bad the Military uses encrypted GPS that can only be spoofed if you know the rotating key.

It’s always Russia, Russia, Russia. Putin isn’t so dumb as to run this off his own coast.

I dont believe that a bit. We have multiple redundancy on those billion dollar ships. This is dereliction of duty at the highest level and it needs to be punished severely.

Well, let’s hope the military’s classified versions of GPS receivers are a little more immune.

As old pilots will tell you, never rely 100% on electronics, always use other means of navigation such as visualizing the stars and dead reckoning gyroscopic computations.

These are merchant ships getting wrong GPS coordinates. And yes, Russia is actively preparing for war to destroy the US so as to rule the new world order of their preference.
Anyone doubting that is naive or a traitor.

What if I told you that Climate Change legislationmproves we lost the cold war... much like Germany had to pay reparations after losing WWI?

Two drones crashed in Turkey in the past 3 days. Wonder if there is a connection to their GPS systems?
This isn't just hacking the DNC and Hillary's servers. Out defense systems are vulnerable. Keep knocking over those Gen Lee statures. They will shortly be rebuilt with Putin in the saddle.

There are more than a few instances within CONUS where sat based GPS reported the wrong coordinates. Jamming/spoofing civilian GPS receivers is not that hard.

Too bad they can not use the military Selective Availability Anti-Spoof Module (SAASM).
