Russian tankers near the port of Novorossiysk are trying to “cheat” GPS receivers. Yes, the terrorist country hides the real location of vessels that violate sanctions.
The russians are using GPS spoofing technology to hide the facts of the actions of tankers in the port of Novorossiysk. A powerful transmitter at Gelendzhik airport distorts AIS data of russian oil tankers. Andrii Klymenko, head of the Monitoring Group of the Institute of Black Sea Strategic Studies, announced this.
“For example, it is shown that the tanker, which allegedly left the Italian port of Augusta on March 25, is heading to the Italian port of Taranto, where it plans to arrive on April 15. Thus, the AIS data “testify” that the vessel covers a distance of 600 km within 20 days,” Klymenko noted.
As a result, analysts write that oil traffic from russia is decreasing, and European tankers do not violate the embargo. This information spreads and distorts not only radio signals, but political conclusions.
