Well he has used logic and facts to date.
Say why dont you give a link to the device, must be a real powerful unit.

No he hasn't, he's written an anecdote.

If your ability to read was a bit better you would see there's a link to an article (with pretty pictures of the cockpit of a Russian jet) just a handful of posts before yours.

What's that got to do with it happening on Russian military channels? You do know what this thread is about, don't you?
It can be done and is done to many countries dave.
If you listen to their radio.
If Skyking means nothing to you so you are out of your depth here.
I have heard it many times, its no real feat.
Get it now ?
Tacitly ?

The Russian equipment is indeed "high tech" if high tech has another meaning in Russia, I suppose.


The Russian army is big, but I reckon it is actually only a small amount of top-tier tech with a fraction of their army (mostly their SFs) being professional and competent. The bulk of their forces appear to be cannon-fodder operating poorly-maintained equipment judging by the amount of videos there are of abandoned (broken down?) equipment.

I cant find anything on google. Perhaps your google-fu better or where did you hear about this?

I posted a link and even used @s0lar to tag you. It's just up the page...

Nope. You literally said that they're fake, so prove it.

That's how the burden of proof works.
They literally posted them as real with no evidence besides a tweet.
The burden of proof is with the original claim.
Brontosaurus were slow but not this slow surely.

The story doesn't say it's a one of a kind event, it merely points out it happening to the Russians now.

Get it now?

"That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence"

- Hitchen's Razor

You made the claim they were/are fake, you need to back it up with evidence.

Nice try though.
Ghost of Kiev was made up by a War Thunder YouTuber called Scottish Koala. It's not even a debate at this point that it was fake.

Well, I deleted my post as I did check and @Dave was correct that they did use a GPS unit in a bombing run in Syria in 2016. My statement about the Russians scrambling GPS signals stands as I have experienced their scrambling and had to always fly VFR when close to Russia.
