"Porsche and BMW owners in Russia are facing massive car malfunctions due to anti-drone electronic warfare (REB) systems. As Mash reports with reference to service centers, drone suppression jammers interfere with the work of regular satellite anti-theft systems."
"The car service told Mash that due to jammers, the car unit receives a distorted or "alien" signal. The car "thinks" it is being attempted to be stolen and automatically blocks the engine. Porsche has an eSIM installed inside the motor, which can initiate a defensive scenario - up to and including stopping the engine - if correct communication is lost."
