Cyber ​​Attack by China: After the earthquake in Myanmar, the Indian Air Force has started a relief mission called ‘Operation Brahma’ to help the people there. This mission wants to thwart some forces. It is believed that China may be behind it. According to the report of Diprint, the Indian Air Force has followed all the necessary rules of security. Nevertheless, when the Air Force aircraft were carrying relief material in Myanmar, they had to face GPS spoofing many times.

GPS spoofing is a kind of cyber attack, in which an attempt is made to take a plane or vehicle in the wrong direction by sending fake GPS signals. It is being suspected that this attack is being carried out by China so that the help given by India can be interrupted. This operation of India is being run to help the earthquake victims of Myanmar, but difficulties are also being created in it.

GPS spoofing is extremely dangerous

GPS spoofing can be very dangerous because through this, the navigation of an aircraft can be hacked and sent in the wrong direction. Due to this, the pilot is not able to get signals to land in the right direction during the flight. When the aircraft are in the air, they do not get the right information about the runway and many times they are unable to find the airport. Such problems were also done by Israel during the Gaza war and its impact was seen till the borders of India. In such situations pilots use old -time technology such as magnetic compass and other traditional equipment so that the aircraft can be safely landed.

Big disclosure in the report

According to a report by Diprint, Indian defense sources said that after the earthquake in Myanmar on March 29, when India started sending assistance there, many aircraft in Myanmar’s airspace faced the problem of GPS spoofing and intervention. Although it is not yet clear whether the cyber attack affected all six Indian Air Force aircraft sent to Myanmar, but according to sources, most of these aircraft have reported the problem of GPS spoofing.

Sources said that such problems came in four or five different flights. After facing the problem of GPS spoofing in the first aircraft, the rest of the aircraft pilots were informed about it so that they could be ready to deal with any difficulty while flying in Myanmar.

Indian Air Force on GPS Spoofing: Two aircraft of the Indian Air Force carrying relief materials in Myanmar, the neighbor of Operation Brahma from India, had a cyber attack on Monday (April 14). The Indian Air Force has given an official statement on this matter.

The Indian Air Force said in its official statement, “The possibility of decrease in GPS by Mandala International Airport in Myanmar was published as a notam (NOTAM) i.e. notice-to-airman and all necessary precautions were taken to fulfill such situations.”

IAF further said, “Indian Air Force pilots and other crew members are fully capable of handling such GPS disability, while ensuring the security of the flight and the obtained work or mission. Each mission was completed according to the plan.”

Ndrf And the aircraft was taking the army medical team to Myanmar

It is noteworthy that after the disaster from the terrible earthquake in Myanmar on March 28, India started the mission in the name of Operation Brahma for relief and rescue operations. Under this mission, IAF’s C-17 Globmaster and C-130J Super-Herculis Aircraft left for Myanmar with NDRF and Indian Army’s medical team with food and drink and other relief and relief.

After flying from India, there was a cyber attack on both the aircraft of the Indian Air Force. Although GPS spoofing has not caused any kind of loss to the Air Force aircraft, the Air Force started working on counter-magors to deal with it.

Air Force pilot failed to attack spuofing

The Indian Air Force has both C-17 and C-130 American aircraft, which are fully equipped with modern sensors. According to the information, as soon as the spoofing took place, both the aircraft had a traditional envoying system (INS) alert and through the INS system, Indian aircraft made safe landing in Myanmar’s capital Naapida and Mandala.
