Yawn tedious. They had GPS tracking built into a tractor with remote disabled? At what point wasn't that shit jammed. How are phones and coms providing that coverage. No wonder Russia is losing troops. Every civilian is pinging out their location.

It sounds like an advert. It doesn't surprise me. But why would they bother. Because Ukrainians steal everything, look at those tanks? It's because the Russians might invade, quickly pay for the most premium tractors just incase they don't get destroyed. Seriously okay it could've happened, but even if it did they're just as easily enabled.

If it's a John Deere advert, it worked in reverse with me!

Why would you need that shit? Because Ukrainians steal? No I mean seriously. Surely you lock up your holdings and be under local protection. But oh no GPS and disabler on a tractor and combine harvesters you keep locked up with a crew of farmhands, guns, dogs. Because a Ukrainian will steal it. Then you'd need to hunt it down locally.

Confusingly how is that tracker working when wouldn't any Russians be jamming where they are. Otherwise every cellphone is pinging out their locations, you know that GPS tracking those tractors and combine harvesters. So why didn't they disabled the security? Under sanctions what coverage is there in Russia when hasn't it largely disconnected from It? There's a war on. Same reasons tracking stuff.

Anyhow I give up with this shit. It's ironic.

Otherwise it was a multinational corp's holdings. Then perhaps they outfit the latest gizmos on their automated farm equipment. But it still doesn't explain why that shit isn't being jammed.

At what point are these satellites GPS still in operation over Russian territories. Why haven't they got better jamming equipment?

How is that locator working?

Why is that GPS pinpointing Russian positions. It means every cellphone is. Away from standard battlefield operating tactics. Like one of the first thing you do is prevent enemy lines of communication. The first is normally halt aerial threats. Much harder with Sat phones, and Sats. But at this stage shouldn't they be fired on, if they're providing that coverage? At the very least jammed. It would mean blackouts by jammers, and because they're disconnected and sanctioned off that grid. They are, how many Russians are on Google, and have been sanctioned cellphone networks. Obviously those thieves will now disable the GPS, surprised they didn't prior. It doesn't answer much more. Why is that tracking in operation. Look at that battlefield.

Who cares about nicking shit it's war. Ukrainians would do it anyway. Hence it had it to begin with. Nicked from a multinational Corp anyway. Automated farm equipment is a Corp. European/American GPS.

Do you understand the losses? Coverage is effective. I don't care not Russian. Find it ironic.
