[@someguydino6770]

As I understand it; most people think of anti- satellite weapons in the wrong way. Striking the satellites with a projectile or burning it with a beam is NOT necessary. It only takes a small amount of force applied to a satellite to send it tumbling off into space. Sure satellites have fuel onboard to make positioning and station keeping adjustments; but the amount that is carried is very limited; with most older satellites having little fuel left. So all that's needed in many cases is just a gentle, steady push over a period of time to send satellites spinning out of control.

[@fh5926]

The way to take down Glonass is to launch RF reflectors and park them in front of the Russian satellites. They maneuver around, we maneuver back in front. They run out of fuel, and that's that. We leverage our vastly superior launch capability to keep sending up dumb reflectors. The best thing about it is that it is easily reversible and doesn't clutter up space with debris. Amateur radio people have demonstrated that Starlink can be used as a GPS system. Good luck taking all those down.

[@milutzuk]

The method you propose doesn't interact physically with the satellite, so the operator cannot say somebody tampered with their equipment. But if you have the ability to position and maneuver in close vicinity of a satellite then a cheaper method would be just wrapping the satellite with Al on polyamide foil and be done with it. Sure, the engines could blow some holes but the solar panels and antenna array would become useless. You need only one satellite with multiple "charges" and ion thrusters. Heck, maybe they'll use it to test a VASIMR prototype. Another method, non-contact this time, but still destructive, would be to use masers in orbit, close proximity, to overload and disable electronics. Last, would be to just jam the frequencies used in communications. Again, from orbit, but that would require just a satellite in the relative vicinity, a km or so, of the positioning system satellite. That sat could also do some spoofing on demand if equipped accordingly and we have enough reverse engineering on GLONASS.

GPS satellites ABSOLUTELY depend on input signals. Even a few feet drift in orbit magnifies to many orders of magnitude. Their orbital data is uploaded DAILY to correct for drift in it's timing signal calculations. Lots of wrong info in this video dude....

[@thomasherbig]

Your explanation of satellite lifetimes is not correct. Orbital decay depends on altitude - the higher, the lower the atmospheric drag. At 400km an orbit will decay in 10 years; at 700 km in 100 years, and at 900 km in 1,000 years. I haven’t calculated the decay time for a satnav orbit, but it’s likely many millions of years. The reasons for limited satnav lifetimes are component failure and limited fuel for stationkeeping.

The US and any country with any little bit of responsible thinking would be extremely reluctant to attack satellites with missiles. The debris field would take out other satellites and those debris fields would take out the rest. It would be a cascading disaster that would destroy everything in the orbit and lower orbits as the stuff eventually started to fall down.

[@jackuzi8252]

One topic not discussed is launching rockets filled with tungsten/lead/steel balls into your enemy's constellation orbit, in the opposite direction. One metric ton of cargo would equate to 100,000 10-gram objects. Instead of launching in the direction of earth's rotation, launch against it, producing high velocity impacts with other objects (navigation satellites) in that orbit. Impacts would produce more debris. While the effect wouldn't be instant, satellite destruction would continue for a few years until the metal balls fell out of orbit, so even if the enemy had additional satellites ready to launch, they'd meet the same fate as existing ones. Of course the enemy could do the same thing to your constellation, so this would only be a winning play for Russia or China (in that the US has more to lose if all navigation satellites are destroyed).

[@grekiki]

100k objects isn't even that much, sattelite would just climb into 5km higher orbit if needed.

[@stupidburp]

That creates more hazards for other objects such as commercial satellites and even the ISS. A unitary kinetic intercept is already producing way too much debris. A space claymore mine would multiply the hazard. Energy weapons are a better path.

[@jackuzi8252]

@@stupidburp As noted, energy weapons are impractical against nav satellites due to their high orbits. Mass release of small objects in collision orbits would be inexpensive and require no new technology. Most of the hazard would be confined to objects in that orbit. Note that they wouldn't have to be dispersed with any kind of large explosion, just sort of "dispensed". The reverse orbit provides the destructive energy.

[@jackuzi8252]

@@grekiki 100,000 is just a per-ton (tonne) number. Russians have rockets that can lift 6.5 tons to geostationary orbit. Of course that's going WITH the earth's rotation, so the payload might be halved...but of course multiple launches are possible.

[@benjaminrichey278]

That would fuck everyone on earth and would basically be a terrorist attack. It would eliminate everything in that orbit and beyond.

[@Zmok]

Constellations like Starlink are basically invulnerable to normal ASAT missiles becasue launching them is much cheaper than shooting them down. You would need to launch multiple interceptors with one launch on one orbital plane. But dispersing them around the whole orbit would take time and so it begin to be a game of who have more fuel for maneuvering. And Starlink's array could probably be used as crude positioning system and global real-time radar recoinnassance, just with software update. In a hot war this might be what will be done.

[@stevebuckley7788]

One big difference this video did not cover is that the Russian military complement their Sat-Nav systems with ground based radio beacons via their EW units. Also they rarely use GPS/GLONASS for targeting themselves because of the susceptibility to jamming/spoofing, a common example being the sudden detection of high priority precision weapons like HIMARS GS-31 or Stormshadow incoming will trigger widespread and largely indiscriminate jamming and spoofing which adversely affects their own weapons if using GPS/GLONASS.

[@masoodjalal1152]

GLONASS has better coverage in the polar region, because Russia is closer to the north pole. GPS has better coverage around the equator, which is one of the reason why phones have both GPS and GLONASS. That is one of the technical reasons. I would not be surprised if US devices would switch to GLONASS in the northern polar regions, Canada, Norway, Sweden etc. Same way expect Russian planes to use GPS guidance around the equator. Also another thing to add is GPS/GLONASS are merely used to add corrections to the existing inertial guidance systems. So at worse the difference would be no more than 20-30m. The other reason is the term GPS is widely used as a Blanket term for GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems), most of the people are not even aware of GLONASS, they think it is the same. Jamming and Spoofing are a different thing though, mentor pilot did a video on it, you should check it out. It goes into details about the systems and how jamming and spoofing works. You dont need to have high tech systems. The Russians just added a unidirectional antenas to get around jamming and spoofing while only allowing signals coming from above to pass, bypassing ground based jamming equipments. If you are interested, Iran spoofed a US drone to land it within Iran.

They do! During late 2022/early 2023, Russian jet pilots inadvertantly showed that they were using civilian GPS units to execute flight maneuvers to approach Ukrainian targets. Russia doesn't use GPS in its _weapons guidance_ systems because the USA can obfuscate GPS data in a warzone on command by suddenly adding encryption or momentarily shutting off satellites. The problem for Russia is that GLONASS is not good for rapidly updating location data in the way GPS is. Pull out your phone, turn on positioning and it can track your location to within 1-2 meters in real time multiple times every second. That's already absolutely stupid accurate for your show human corpus or Uber ride but insanely accurate for a GPS guided weapon traveling at Mach 4. When GLONASS _isn't being manipulated_ it gives very precise info but on a more human time scale of several seconds or minutes. So their "precision" weapons often miss by dozens of meters because the last update to their flight trajectory was 5 seconds ago while dropping at Mach 1.

[@gunningopher]

​@@greencanner4284 I'm quite familiar with how GNSS works. I've been using it for 30 years as a land surveyor. I manage a GNSS RTK network in southern California. Each system (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and Beidou) uses ground control stations to establish their orbits, update clocks and to upload ephemerides. It is one of the 3 main segments of all systems, the others being space and ground. GLONASS has a pretty weak ground segment as it is. Without an updated orbit, the satellite vehicle position you reference in your description would rapidly degrade (days or weeks), with a subsequent degradation in positioning accuracy for the user segment. At some point it would not meet the user's needs. As the US GPS satellite on-orbit technology has modernized, they have added some degree of self control from space, but I don't recall the details of that. I doubt the Russians have any number of SV's in orbit that can do that, if they even have plans to add that capability at all.

GPS satellites have their positions tracked by a whole series of tracking stations and the satellites then need to be told their own new position data, which itself is not easy because they are far away. If something interfered with/sabotaged the tracking or updating for Glonass, that would be a serious issue. And given that the US has bases all over the world, they have a lot more tracking locations to use. Would this make a difference?

To begin with, it is the American GPS which is jammed by the Russians on the battlefield in Ukraine and in the region of the Kaliningrad enclave. The result was that the Americans stopped supplying Excalibur shells to Zelensky's forces and other munitions lost all or part of their effectiveness. On the other hand, the hundreds of daily hovering bombs and shells and munitions guided by Russian glonas still arrive at their destination. This demonstrates the weakness of our West in this crucial sector of electronic warfare compared to Putin's armies for 2 and a half years!!!

[@Chiberia]

while this is true, it's also only half the story - jamming GPS from any country is relatively trivial (at the end of the day, it's just another signal on frequency that can be jammed). the missing half of the story is that guided shells are also 50x the cost of an unguided shell. the US can send 50x more shells to Ukraine with arguably the same effectiveness, given the jamming, than wasting money on more Excaliburs

[@redaerf2b414]

@@Chiberia money doesn't magically converts itself into ammunition. You will need to rump up the production 50 times, which is a borderline miracle, you also have to regulate the market like a stalin himself, so price of ordinary shell wouldn't skyrocket with demand, you also face problem of needing more barrels, and more guns, because same gun cant simply shoot 50X times more shells per day, an more skilled artillerymen

Russia was working on interstellar nuclear station. They have good advancements in nuclear propulsion, so such vehicle can potentially be a Space Battle Cruiser or something. Maneuvering in space without needing much fuel. Just casually and without any disturbance approaching every GPS satellite.

[@benoithudson7235]

By the time you wiped out the other birds in the same orbit, the target could deploy another constellation in a slightly different orbit.

[@MooKyTig]

No. You don't understand Kessler's syndrome. That's a low orbit phenomenon. While certainly a concern at say 200km, it simply isn't a meaningful concern at a 20,000km orbit.

[@alman-world]

Why disable Glonoss and not US GPS?

[@Ekstrax]

I think less people are aware Glonass exists than they are aware that GPS exists, so makes for a more interesting title, also Ukraine has 2 options (Galileo & GPS) so it would be harder to destroy both. But you know what you were thinking when you asked that question, you were thinking that he talks about Glonass because he is biased, which is also probably true

[@alman-world]

@Ekstrax my question was more: why discuss the weaknesses of Russia Infrastructure. Surely a better balanced view is, what are the weaknesses of all GPS systems. I do suppose I am making it political, as I don't think either the west or Russia gets a balanced view of World issues or positions just their own propaganda.
