In a 22 June 2017 report, Red Sky Alliance reported on an analysis of vessel spoofing regarding twenty (20) ships near the Russian Black Sea coast. The location of these ships indicated their GPS location, inland and in the area of the Russian Gelendzhyk Airport. In the same general timeframe, similar GPS position malfunctioning was noticed in automobiles driving near the Kremlin in Moscow, Russia. These GPS anomalies indicate the likelihood Russia is testing security measures by utilizing GPS spoofing to test their capability in the event of a military conflict both on land and at sea.
Though this report is close to five years ago, our data collection indicated that the Russia government was testing the spoofing of GPS signals for future use. This quite possibly is being used in current military oprtations by Russia.
