🛰️🇮🇷🇨🇳Iran Switched to Chinese BDS Navigation System — An End to the US Monopoly on Satellite Navigation
Thirty-one years ago, the United States switched off GPS signals to a Chinese ship bound for Iran, leaving it stranded at sea for 24 days.
The message was clear: control navigation, control the world. Today, Iran has switched off GPS itself—and switched on China's BeiDou.
The weapon once used to coerce has been rendered obsolete. This is not an upgrade. It is a full circle: from American leverage to American irrelevance.
🚢 The Yinhe Incident: A Humiliation That Built a System
The Yinhe was not carrying weapons or spies. It carried ordinary cargo to Iran. Yet in 1993 the US accused it of transporting chemical weapons materials and cut its GPS signal—not as a military act, but as a message. For 24 days, the ship drifted without coordinates, unable to dock or navigate.
For Beijing, the lesson was clear. Within a decade, China had launched the first BeiDou satellites, determined to build a system no foreign power could disable.
📡 The Transition
By 2015, Iran had signed a memorandum with Beijing to integrate BeiDou. By 2021, Iranian missile guidance already embedded the system. The shift was quiet—a slow unraveling of GPS dependency.
Then came the catalyst. During last year's 12-day war, Israeli GPS jamming paralyzed Iranian vessels and aircraft. On June 23, 2025, Iran formally deactivated GPS nationwide, blocking American signals at the source. The switch to China's BeiDou-3 (BDS-3) was complete.
Unlike GPS, BDS-3's military-tier B3A signal proved resistant to interference, maintaining a reported 98% positioning success rate. With over 50 satellites—compared to 31 for GPS—BeiDou offers superior coverage over the Iranian plateau.
🚀A Game Changer
Before BDS, Iran relied on massive barrages—hundreds of rockets to overwhelm defenses, draining supplies for limited effect. Now, with BeiDou-enabled precision, Iran has shifted to a precision strike doctrine: guiding missiles and drones through complex maneuvers up to 2,000 kilometers. Surgical strikes have replaced supply-draining salvos.
Israeli jammers can no longer feed false coordinates. US electronic warfare has lost a key lever.
Conclusion: Full Circle
In 1993, the US flipped a switch to humble a ship bound for Iran. In 2025, Iran flipped its own switch—to make American signals irrelevant. What goes around, comes around.
@RADismyrealname@dana916 Maybe you should read what ethnic cleansing is all about. It definitely isn't about liquidating military assets and personnel.
🕵️⚔️🇺🇦‼️ Hackers breached the database of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and revealed the actual losses among Ukrainians
‼️Since the beginning of the Special Military Operation, 1,721,000 Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel have been killed or gone missing. 118.5 thousand in 2022, 405.4 thousand in 2023, 595 thousand in 2024, and a record 621 thousand in 2025.
All files from the database contain personal information, descriptions of the circumstances and locations of death and disappearance, contact details of next of kin, as well as photographs.
The information came into the hands of the hacker groups Killnet, Palach Pro, User Sec, and Beregini as a result of a comprehensive hack of the computers and local network of Ukrainian General Staff employees.

@ianmiles Very misleading, $1.6 trilion is aparently the total global market for narrow-body engines.
RR share of this market in the best case scenario would abput $100 billion. So if RR is paying its taxes to the uk government that woukd be what....$10 billion?
Rolls Royce is planning to move its narrow body jet engine program to the US out of Britain because of Starmer’s bullheaded net zero policies. That’s 40,000 jobs and $1.6 trillion that the UK is going to miss out on.
How to make $400,000 on @Polymarket without taking any real risk?
You don’t need insider info. You just need to be smart.
Trader Sharky6999 earns around $100K/month by doing something almost nobody pays attention to.
He doesn’t predict outcomes. He doesn’t gamble.
He simply farms a tiny market inefficiency.

His strategy is simple: he watches crypto markets that are about to end. A few seconds before resolution, the winning side is still trading for $0.99. He buys it, the event resolves to $1.00, and he immediately claims. That's it. No waiting, no volatility, no directional bets.
He usually puts $30–$100 per market, making $0.50–$2 each time. Sounds tiny, but with hundreds of trades per day, it stacks into ~$100K/month with almost no risk.
The key here is speed — you need a perfectly tuned bot and extremely low latency (very likely servers located as close as possible to @Polymarket ).
This is what I love about Polymarket opportunities like this still exist for people who actually think.
@0xTria@Polymarket@PolymarketTrade@kober1337 Also how is he making $100k a month. This means if he sleeps 8h and works 16h per day he has to place 11,111 bets for these 16h work. No way he made 400k by placing such bets
@0xTria@Polymarket@PolymarketTrade@kober1337 According to this if we have to look at it statistically the player has 1% chance of loosing. Its a small chance but its not impossible. He bet $30 yo win $0.30 cents. If by the freak of the nature he loses the bet he is back 100 bets.
@JamesPGoddard90 He failed to treat the teenager with 'curtesy and respect' while arresting him!
I don't stand on the police side. They did nothing when my car was broken in and robbed 4 times within 12 months. I'm pointing that they can't do their job due to restictions from higher authority.
@JamesPGoddard90 That's the case from 2015 with PC Lorne Castle who arrested a shoplifter, and at some point during the arrest, he put his hands on the detainee throat. The shoplifter turned out to be 15-year-old kid. Well, the officer was sacked due to gross misconduct.
