Several Muscovites encounter malfunctions when they want to use their navigation system. It appears to be the result of the security measures the Kremlin is adopting ahead of next Tuesday’s Victory Day.
GPSJam, a specialized website that detects GPS signal interference, has shown an increase in the number of disturbances in and around Moscow since Wednesday. A Reuters news agency reporter saw how his smart watch failed to track his bike ride through the center of the Russian capital. And he heard from a resident that a taxi driver’s GPS was jumping wildly all day.
Fear of attacks
The Kremlin does not communicate on the matter, but it is known to use this type of technology to interrupt the trajectory of drones. There may be fears of bomb attacks following the alleged attack on the Kremlin on Wednesday. And ahead of the Victory Day celebrations, which commemorate the Soviet Union’s victory over Germany in 1945, security measures are still being tightened.
