But after a journey of more than 700 miles, the thieves were unable to use any of the equipment -- because it had been locked remotely.Over the past few weeks there's been a growing number of reports of Russian troops stealing farm equipment, grain and even building materials - beyond widespread looting of residences.
The sophistication of the machinery, which are equipped with GPS, meant that its travel could be tracked. It was last tracked to the village of Zakhan Yurt in Chechnya. The equipment ferried to Chechnya, which included combine harvesters -- can also be controlled remotely."When the invaders drove the stolen harvesters to Chechnya, they realized that they could not even turn them on, because the harvesters were locked remotely," the contact said.
Not only do the tractors and combines need to activated remotely by the factory, but they have GPS theft prevention. Many of those pieces can be located to within 10 meters / 33 feet.
Oh, so the John Deere anti-right to repair shenanigans was an altruistic feature? Hahaaaa. Not

Plot twist - from tanks drawn by Ukrainian farmers to a Russian draw back with farm vehicles. When it comes to a trial lets hope that the aspects of war amidst a pandemic and causing worldwide hunger by robbed crops is considered as another war crime.
MRWOMM The difference between stealing tractors and tanks. The tractor can be remotely deactivated if stolen

Importing goods and energy from Russia and China means that they hold our lives in their hands. We will be caught up in tiny short-term gains, which will make the road dozens of times more difficult in the long-term perspective. We can no longer trade and do business with them.
