Russia ‘Turns Off’ GPS Signal Of UAVs But Hits Ukrainian Targets With Pin Point Accuracy: Kyiv Explains How

Ashish Dangwal

During an interview on Radio Liberty, Ignat disclosed that the enemy (Russia) is now launching unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) without GPS signals. The navigation system is only activated once the drone is directly above the target area, which is subsequently struck with Iskander missiles.

This method is designed to complicate detection and countermeasures for Ukrainian forces, as the drones are difficult to track until they are already in position for reconnaissance or strike missions.

“The enemy is using new tactics: launching UAVs without navigation, without a GPS signal. This signal is turned on directly over the object that the enemy plans to reconnoiter and strike there with Iskander. Thus, we also have to react to this situation,” Ignat said.

He highlighted the urgent need for the Ukrainian Defense Forces to develop and implement effective countermeasures against these reconnaissance drones.
