The General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces stated on Nov. 5 that there may be disruptions to the operation of smartphones clocks due to the electronic warfare (EW), which is used to repel Russian aerial attacks.
Due to the activation by electronic warfare systems when air raid alarms sound, users in Ukraine are experiencing more frequent automatic time change on their smartphones.
Electronic warfare systems are used to steer Russian drones into the wrong direction. This practice, also known as GPS spoofing and GPS simulation involves deceiving or manipulating a GPS receiver through fake GPS signals. The receiver receives an incorrect location.
Due to the fact that modern smartphones also heavily rely on geolocation services in order to determine time zones, automatic clock switching can occur when GPS spoofing occurs.
The General Staff stated that it is best to disable the automatic update mode of the phone, and to take into consideration the fact that satellite navigation systems can be affected by the announcement of air alerts.
