Due to the operation of electronic warfare equipment, there may be disruptions in the precise time system used by mobile phones in automatic refinement mode.
This was warned by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The General Staff explained that electronic warfare equipment is used to repel the occupiers' air attacks. At the same time, to increase the effectiveness of the impact on the enemy, they use means of spoofing the GPS satellite navigation coordinates (spoofing).
‘A side effect of this impact is a disruption in the precise time system used by mobile phones in the automatic time adjustment mode. Given the above, it is advisable to disable the automatic time adjustment mode in your phone and take into account that the accuracy of satellite navigation systems may be affected during air alerts,’ - explained electronic warfare experts at the General Staff.
- The Ukrainian Air Force reported that due to the use of electronic warfare and other reasons, 24% of enemy drones are lost in the field.
