China Russia Cooperation, Why GPS To Face Stiff Challenge: The Glonass and Beidou Iron Curtain is assured. Tim Tufuga

During the Gulf War, the Iraqi military communication networks amongst the Iraqi forces were completely overwhelmed with the American Electronic Warfare capabilities primarily with the use of the US Military satellites with their GPS systems. The Iraqi Forces were completely blinded and were unable to establish comlinks for long distance communication coordinations apart from close in two way radio systems. This hastened the defeat of the Iraqi forces by the American led coalition forces during Operation Desert Storm. 

During the Yugoslavia war, the Serbian Missiles were launched using the American GPS system and were scrambled by American EW which resulted in Surface to Air and guided missiles, relying on the GPS system, missing their preprogramed, or their GPS guidance, targetting systems. 

The Russians and the Chinese learn from the American EW capabilities and realised that the US internet system and especially the GPS system was and is, in effect controlled, monitored, and manipularted if necessary by the Americans and their Global intelligence and telecommunication partners, such as the Five Eyes, throughout the world. 

In response the Russians launched their telecommunication satellites, initially for Military applications, then soon, for civilian use such as the Glonass and Beidou networks. 

Recently, the West excluded Russian media and social media platforms from the internet and excluded Russian sources and including the SWIFT internet banking systems to the Russians which also relies on the American designed internet servers and the GPS system. In response, the Russians expanded the use of their Glonass to the civilian population but the Russians realised that their network was very limited in scope and of global reach. 

The Chinese Beidou system since its initial inception was already catered for their expansive civilian population as well as for their military networkd completely independent of the American satellites and GPS systems. 

As the West continued to censor and manipulate the internet and especially the global navigational tools such as the GPS system the lessons of the Serbian and Iraqi wars had taught the adversaries of America and the West a very valuable lesson in Electronic warfare and cyberwarfare capabiities on the battlefront. 

The lessons of the recent Optus cyberattack, the Centrelink robodebt scheme, the manipulation of the Australian Bureau of Statistics Census system, are examples of how the adversaries of Australia, from unknown sources, are able to cyberattack Australia. This is also noted with how the Americans are also cyberattacked by adversaries. The Americans were very successful for a century in conducting electronic warfare, and with the internet, to conduct cyberwarfare against America's enemies. The GPS was America's greatest weapon against America's enemies the Americans could defeat the enemy and were able to attack their enemies with ease, even before the first shot were fired in anger. 

Today, thanks principally to the American and Western sanctions against the Russians and Chinese, the Russians and Chinese have learnt to avoid the West entirely, including on the internet servers. The SWIFT banking system will also be replaced with a Sino-Russo led internetbanking system within BRICS member Nations and their clients bypassing the Western internet servers entirely in a new parallel universe. 

A new Ironcurtain of sorts has arisen with Beidou and Glonass systems excluding the American GPS system forever.
