@reynardsetiawanz8778 no, that's not how that works. Generally your ISP can track your location by triangulating your phone communication with local BTS mounted on a communication tower, especially when a phone call is made. This is in ukrane, meaning they will have data by either working with the local ISP or tapping on the communication tower itself. Finally there's also a radiowave tracker which can be used in similar ways, as part of the electronic warfare. This happens on new year's eve, so there is bound to be a soldier who had the urge to call home, even when told not to. Remember when the media says that they don't allow soldiers to bring phones to war because "RuZziA bAD"... This is exactly what happens when you do... You get yourself or your mates killed.
