A power bank and a device with a Kyivstar SIM card were found inside a downed Shahed. Russians are using Ukranian cell networks for positioning, and possibly to update flight paths. (files.catbox.moe)

Translation:

Importantly.

An ATM and a device with a Kyivstar SIM card were found inside the Podar Shahed.

That means they'll be able to use the cellular network to update the coordinates of this shit, plus maybe be able to change the flight task.

All this was located in a 3D printed element.

GPS stops working above a certain altitude or speed regardless of whitelisting so that backdoors aren’t exploited

This isn't GPS though, I don't think the tower can measure altitude, only distance and speed?

Yeah I was saying that a whitelist is pretty dumb cause Russia could spoof a whitelisted device, or steal one and get its credentials, backdoors are never a good idea
