And you believe that.
You’d be shocked bro. The fact is military might is about perception. You only project your power and create fear, but nobody will truly know until war comes
This war has exposed some minor cracks in Russian military- logistical challenges, vehicle breakdowns, longer than anticipated timelines-etc.
Bro, you never know until the real war begins. The best thing nations do is to keep other nations guessing or in the dark- like the the principle of strategic ambiguity of Israel or North Korea . Nobody can truly judge how powerful or well drilled an army outside a situation of war.

Russia has Glonass, a system similar to GPS for positioning. The propaganda being disseminated is too much.

Propaganda.

These people think that Russia, a nation with close to $1 trillion in foreign reserves, a country that could afford to fire 27 Kasper cruise missiles into Syria from its submarines at a cost of $1m each, the first country to put a vehicle in space (Sputnik 1),, first country to launch a man in space (Yuri Gargarin), first country to launch a woman in space (Valentina Tereshkova), first country to land a vehicle on the moon, the first country to put a space station in orbit (Mir), first country to develop a nuclear submarine, etc etc, would have to rely on Google Maps for navigation.

The disrespect from these mainstream media is on another level. Do they think that Russia does not have spies and local collaborators all over Ukraine to gather intelligence on locations of critical military and civilian infrastructure?

Spot on!!! Don't blame the media blame the fools that believe everything they hear or read from the media. The media tractions to make money.

Russian troops don’t use GPS or google maps . Russia has what is called GLONASS , this is very popular in Eastern Europe and Mideast . Russia and China will soon unveil their own version of SWIFT - they’ve been working on it since 2016 .

The war needs to STOP , but Russia deserves some respect and accolade , but westerns have deliberately seized to acknowledge Russia , hence their actions .

No man wants to be an island , and Russia is refusing to give up her heritage to the west

Sensational headline from media house hungry for traffic, you think google is the only one with coordinates, what happened to the good old compass

Don't mind them, this is just plain fake news.

Russians use Yandex Maps and it even has Lagos streets in it. So Ukraine is there too of course.

And the Russian military doesn't need Google Maps (or even Yandex Maps).

They didn't say Russia don't have their own satellite. They didn't say Russia can't know coordinates.
They just said Google disabled the traffic feature over Ukraine, meaning nobody can't access traffic info over Ukraine.

You now interpreted the news in your own limited understanding and laugh at your sheer ignorance.

the way you guys just transit into anti-west mode when something isn't pro-Russia is amazing; defying logic and common reason

The worst part is they do it why exposing their naivety and ignorance.

The point is, the article is telling the reader, they're "confused", because Google map has been disabled. And my comment says that's laughable.

Now, go screw someone else, I'm not gay.

Bye.

you're even dumber than I expected. that's click bait from Vanguard. Same way YouTube channels write one headline and the video is about something else.

You fell for a click bait and you're proud of it. Damn! you should be awarded for that.

The ediots forgot that Russia alongside the US are the only nations to have their own Global satellite mapping technology. While US have GPS, Russia have GLONASS.

Educated ediots called western media.

Oga you are quoting google, let me tell you , In terms of war , they will not use google map because they know it cant be turn of, and it will affect them , During world war 1 and 2 , there was no google map but target were hit.... even in south korea , there map is more effective than google map, china has it own which is better than google map
linearity:


Google map provides more than coordinates and you clearly did not read the piece.

If you read and understand the piece or the features of Google map, you will noticed that coordinates were not disabled because ‘turn by turn’ directions still works.

Google map just like most modern driving App e.g. Waze also provides real time data based on AI feedback to enable drivers route around real time congestions ahead.

Therefore Ukraine Soldiers and people fleeing provide data points that feeds the Google map AI bot, which then mark those positions as high traffic spots in real time….if the Russias are using this Google map feature, they will know where the concentration of Ukraine Soldiers are, the route people are fleeing through, etc this is the feature that was disabled. @ Investigative zigzagluv

I see that, you don’t even know what AI enabled map is, or how it works.

The fact that you think they may need AI map to hit targets, show you don’t understand what I am talking about.

I never stated they need AI maps like google map to hit target, the old compass work well for that.

Let me try to explain this to you in layman English…For you to hit a target using your compass, you must know the coordinates of your target or where your enemies are, you must also know the coordinates of where civilians are so that you don’t hit them.

What if you don’t know these coordinates and see your enemy soldiers are in the field or forest and constantly moving and civilians are moving, many fleeing and you still want to hit your enemies even in their new locations but avoid civilians in their fleeing routes.

The solution that modem Army uses are over head flying spy planes to do reconnaissance flights and send feedback of what they can see back to control which rely it to you and you input the coordinates…spy planes are very limited, they can be shutdown, they can only see things in their flight path, they can see enemy soldiers inside buildings, forests, etc….ie they can only see things in the open.

Now come AI enabled phones that any Tom, dick and harry can buy in the market, the maps on these phones send their location information constantly to a google server….a Russia soldier with that map will have real time data and coordinates of his enemies and friends and can accurately plan their attack.

The problem here is not that the technology is difficult, so China and Russia should have AI enabled maps….but an AI enabled map without people having access to that map and phone and using it widely is useless as it does not have usage base from where to collect feedbacks.

I highly doubt this story. Why would Russia that has satellites in the earth's orbit depend on google maps for it's coordinates during a war. That would be a joke of the century if true. As a matter of fact, this story is not only unbelievable, but laughable.
