Foreign companies help guide Russian missiles via GLONASS, – GUR

Intelligence urges Western companies to abandon support for GLONASS in their microchips – this is the Soviet analogue of GPS. Now the system is used by the RF Armed Forces to coordinate attacks on Ukraine.

In many chips Western countries include support for the Russian analogue of the GPS system. The Russian Federation purchases them and uses them for military purposes. Speaking of which in shape Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

Russian troops continue to bomb Ukraine. The massive bombing of November 23 resulted in the lack of electricity in most Ukrainian homes. There are dead and wounded. Intelligence notes that the enemy uses GLONASS to achieve its goals – this is the Russian dual-purpose satellite navigation group. It was created in the USSR in 1982 by order of the Ministry of Defense.

In most cases, it is used for military purposes. GLONASS helps calculate the coordinates of targets for Ukrainian attacks. There is one weakness in this system – the dependence on foreign chips. Russian missiles and drones are made with foreign-made microworlds with the support of GLONASS. As a rule, the Russian Federation installs civilian drones in military products.

The dual-purpose parts are enough for the chips to help missiles navigate through space and attack Ukraine’s civilian and energy infrastructure. Intelligence has also published a list of manufacturers of products with GLONASS support:

  • Linx Technologies (США);
  • Broadcom (United States);
  • Qualcomm (США);
  • Telit (United States);
  • Maxim Integrated (США);
  • TRIMBLE (USA);
  • Wireless Cables (USA);
  • ublox AG (Switzerland);
  • STMicroelectronics (Switzerland);
  • SierraWireless (Canada);
  • NovAtel (Canada);
  • Septentrio (Belgium);
  • Antenova (United Kingdom).

Russia is now actively purchasing GLONASS-enabled microchips through numerous shell companies and distributors.

Microchips are installed in a number of weapons:

UAVs

Orlan-10, Shahed-136

MLRS extension

“Tornado-S” and “Smerch”

rockets

“Iskander”, “Caliber”, “Dagger” and Kh-101, Kh-555, Kh-38, Kh-59MK and Kh-31 cruise missiles.

Without foreign GLONASS chips, Russia would have to make its own chips from scratch. And now Russia is constantly finding ways to bypass export controls, so foreign companies should stop producing chips with GLONASS support.

We recall, according to the media, American components found in the Russian Kh-101 missile. Earlier, the Ukrainian Air Force called, what missiles in the Russian Federation can still produce.
