Often, the data of online trackers that track the movements of NATO and Swedish warships using the Global Positioning System (GPS) system should be ignored, according to the American magazine Popular Mechanics.
The publication calls for ignoring information from such trackers that monitor the situation near the borders of Russia, where the latter allegedly uses GPS spoofing "in order to use fabricated data to strengthen propaganda claims against Western countries." Popular Mechanics writes that such behavior " undermines universal confidence in a useful technology originally designed to improve security."
Earlier, the American edition of The Drive reported that, according to the MarineTraffic and VesselFinder websites, the American destroyer Ross of the Arleigh Burke type "moved" from the port of Odessa (Ukraine) to the coast of Crimea on the night of June 30, "violating" the borders of Russia. The Russian side was accused of distorting the data of online trackers in the publication.
