A power bank and a device with a Kyivstar SIM card were found inside a downed Shahed. Russians are using Ukrainian cell networks for positioning, and possibly to update flight paths. (sopuli.xyz)

Translation:

Importantly.

An ATM and a device with a Kyivstar SIM card were found inside the Podar Shahed.

That means they'll be able to use the cellular network to update the coordinates of this shit, plus maybe be able to change the flight task.

All this was located in a 3D printed element.

They could, but implementing such a system would require the cell tower to measure a device's speed via the cell signal's time-of-flight, which would require reprogramming or replacing the tower's hardware.

And even that would only address half the issue, as the drones could still triangulate their position without connecting to them at all using nothing more than a table of cell tower locations.
