The John Deere equipment is designed to do this for easy repo, and to prevent right to repair.

Not all, it's a premium upgrade. Like brand new equipment. What you'd find on medium top range cars. Not low cost. Made within the last few years. In Ukraine, not your average farmer. The cost is huge. It's corporate holdings.

But it doesn't explain that coverage. Because as every battlefield tactic dictates, collapse and prevent lines of communication. A primary objective, otherwise you're compromised.

John Deere don't own satellites or com towers. They're using local coverage, it's largely the same as cellphones. At what point unless you're as dumb as those thieves haven't you jammed or disabled it?

Why is it also operating in Russian territories? I suppose they're still using it in their foreign cars? Despite sanctions and a disconnected grid like Google. Why the fuck was it working in a war zone. Cellphones. I need to locate my apple phone, my laptop, my TV. See how that works. Dumb Russians are giving their positions away. No wonder why Rommel got killed.
