The GPS system is run by the military, and the military can control it
in various ways -- disabling it completely, making it much less
precise, etc. Russia has its own GPS system, but apparently it's
subject to being jammed.

‘Local’ Russian GPS jamming in Ukraine hasn’t affected US support ops, so far
The Pentagon doesn't believe Russia has fully unleashed its
significant electronic warfare capabilities, a senior defense official
said.

Russia expected to ditch GLONASS for Loran in Ukraine invasion
February 17, 2022 - By Tracy Cozzens
Russian military doctrine assumes GLONASS and other GNSS will not be
available once a battle begins, so will instead turn to Loran-C for

Among the assistance Russia requested was pre-packaged, non-perishable military food kits, known in the US as "meal, ready-to-eat," or MREs, according to two sources familiar with the matter. The request underscores the basic logistical challenges that military analysts and officials say have stymied Russian progress in Ukraine -- and raises questions about the fundamental readiness of the Russian military.

Forward-deployed units have routinely outstripped their supply convoys and open source reports have shown Russian troops breaking into grocery stores in search of food as the invasion has progressed. One of the sources suggested that food might be a request that China would be willing to meet, because it stops short of lethal assistance that would be seen as deeply provocative by the west.

By one account, Russia does logistics by higher up planning rather than what the forces in the field say is needed. Thus, ammunition is getting the priority.

BATTLE OF WILLS Russians ‘could buckle in 10 DAYS’ as Ukraine claims to have killed 13,500 troops and destroyed hundreds of tanks & jets

Now both a senior UK defence source and the former commander of US forces say the game could soon be up for Russia.

“Ukraine has Russia on the run,” the source told the Daily Mail.

“It is running out of manpower and running out of energy. As long as we keep pressing they've got ten to 14 days before reaching their culminating point.

“That's when the strength of Ukraine's resistance should become greater than Russia's attacking force.”

VLADIMIR Putin could only have ten days to win the war in Ukraine before his forces buckle, defence experts have claimed.

Now both a senior UK defence source and the former commander of US forces say the game could soon be up for Russia.
