A frigate near the Charles de Gaulle located thanks to a Bluetooth tracker: the Minister Delegate to the Armed Forces ensures that it is sometimes the goal that they be seen

A Dutch media has successfully located a frigate accompanying the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle in the Mediterranean Sea, thanks to a Bluetooth tracker hidden in a postcard. And what if all this was calculated? A Dutch frigate escorting the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle was located by journalists thanks to a Bluetooth tracker hidden in a postcard. For the Minister Delegate to the Minister of the Armed Forces and Veterans Alice Rufo, there is no cause for concern. “To be completely honest, military means of this nature, when they want to be seen, they are seen. Sometimes, it is even the goal that they be seen. Afterwards, when they do not want to be seen, I assure you that they have very powerful means,” she said on Wednesday, April 22 on France Inter. “Measures taken” after the Stravaleaks. The Dutch media Omroep Gelderland sent a postcard to the frigate Eversten to test the security measures of their army. According to them, packages are scanned by X-rays but not the mail intended for the soldiers. A Bluetooth tracker, worth five euros, was hidden in it, allowing journalists to follow the frigate’s trail. It is part of the protection system of the French aircraft carrier in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. The French aeronaval group was deployed there urgently at the beginning of the conflict in the Middle East. This is not the first time that the location of the Charles de Gaulle has been exposed by journalists. In mid-March, an investigation by Le Monde, “Stravaleaks,” revealed its location through a shared jogging route on the Strava app by one of the sailors on board. On this subject, Alice Rufo indicated on Wednesday that “measures have been taken,” without specifying which ones.
