Anything electronic is not necessarily true. Whether that be the numbers of votes for a particular candidate, or the amount of money in your bank, or the position of a ship or aircraft.

This bizarre spoofing incident around the Crimean Peninsula in the Black Sea is the second of its kind in the last two weeks.
