The Russians have deployed a system to block GPS signals near the port of Gelendzhik in Novorossiysk.

According to analysts, the obstacles are concentrated in the area of ​​the Russian marker buoy No. 133, causing the location of ships using the Global Positioning System to show a false location.

The GPS signal jamming system is aimed at countering the intelligence activities of Ukrainian special services, making it impossible for them to identify the exact locations of ships in port.

Simultaneously with Novorossiysk, the deployment of a similar system to block GPS signals was also observed in July on the Crimean peninsula, near Sevastopol.

An automatic identification system is a set of equipment used to monitor and exchange information about ship traffic.

AIS transmits data on the location, course, speed and other characteristics of ships in real time. The main purpose of the development of AIS was to improve maritime safety, prevent collisions and assist in the management of shipping.

By jamming the GPS signal, which is one of the most important systems for locating ships, the Russians are creating a danger to civilian navigation in these areas.

As previously reported, in June, Russian dock landing ships with a powerful escort left the port of Novorossiysk, where they had previously been hiding from Ukrainian attacks for a long time.
