The head of Roskosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, said that within the framework of sanctions, the United States could disconnect Russia from the GPS navigation system.
Rogozin stated this during a visit to the Progress Rocket and Space Center. He also said that this situation should not cause concern, because Russia has its own system – GLONASS, which, if disconnected from GPS, will continue to work. Rogozin stressed that every smartphone is connected to GLONASS.
“Did you know that today, as part of the sanctions, the United States is considering the possibility of disconnecting the Russian Federation from GPS. Do you know about it? Do not know. And I can tell you that such an issue is being considered, ”said the head of Roscosmos.
