In Russia, it will be necessary to obtain permission from the Ministry of Defense to purchase GPS/GLONASS jammers, Izvestia reports.
This innovation is the basis of the draft decision of the State Commission on Radio Frequencies (SCRF), whose meeting is scheduled for the end of July.
It is assumed that the Defense Ministry’s decision will have to be attached to the application for a frequency for the “jammer” in the State Commission on Radio Frequencies. We are talking about frequencies of 1164-1300 MHz, which are used by military and civilian aircraft, as well as 1559-1610 MHz (GPS, GLONASS and Chinese Beidou).
The new rules are primarily aimed at regulating the frequency to suppress UAV strikes.
The State Commission on Radio Frequencies is not responsible for regulating sales of UAV suppression equipment. Only questions concerning the frequency of their use.

GPS jammers are now sold freely and their operation is almost not regulated. The devices began to be bought up en masse in Russia after drone attacks.
People and businesses have started buying up such devices en masse against the backdrop of news about drones shot down on Russian territory. Without the appropriate qualifications, they can harm other users of radio frequency impact: from airports to special services.
