What would JFK do
[QUOTE=laserguided;46016913]Uh the Russian army is equipped with Glonass. Sure, maybe not in every combat vehicle but every modernized combat vehicle. That is what a navigator/commander is for.[/QUOTE] I know they use GLONASS, I simply said combining GPS and GLONASS provides more accurate directions due to the use of both consolations, that if GPS was a public thing in 1983, maybe the Korean Airlines flight might not have been shot down, because it could then tell it was flying into Soviet airspace, a defined political border, and if GPS could do this 10 years into it's inception in 1973, why can't GLONASS do the same and tell someone they're in the territory of a different country? I know what the Commander is for in a mechanized vehicle, but I thought at least they'd start issuing GLONASS receivers in the Russian army by now.

[QUOTE=purvisdavid1;46012821]I'm more or less asking questions because why does a super power not have fucking GPS in their vehicles even after large modernization efforts. The US issues "Soldier Digital Assistant" and "Commander Digital Assistant" receivers to all soldiers and officers, so I honestly don't know why the Russian's don't do the same [/QUOTE] I bet they do. It's not about actual wrong positioning, it's just out military trying to explain their undercover operation failure with some silly reasons like wrong positioning.
