With most of the Loran-C network in Europe shut off in Europe since 2015, public positioning services seems limited to satellite navigation (GPS/GLONASS/Galileo).

However, to what degree is the equivalent CHAYKA hyperbolic navigation network still usable? I'm having trouble finding information more recent than a decade old, making it possible that the system is no longer available.

You might find more information if your search for its Russian name, Чайка, with your favorite search engine. Looks like it actually means "seagull" so you might get more hits than desired. – Raffles Oct 27 '20 at 20:01

I have attempted that, but have not been able to find a conclusive answer with my limited Russian. – SE - stop firing the good guys Oct 27 '20 at 20:03

I'll try but my Russian is also very limited. – Raffles Oct 27 '20 at 20:09

Doesn't appear to be much information after 2010, but I'll keep on looking, it's kinda interesting and I can exercise my pidgin Russian. – Raffles Oct 27 '20 at 20:56

The masts at Dudinka and Taymylyr (demolished in 2009) were 460 metres high. this gives a clue that it may have been dismantled a while back. – Raffles Oct 27 '20 at 21:28
@Raffles Yes, the Wikipedia page is up to date to that point, as the GRI 5960 chain is clearly no more. – SE - stop firing the good guys Oct 27 '20 at 21:30
I just stumbled upon this link if you're willing to go through your favorite translator :D Even then they mention 2004 - 2007. – Raffles Oct 27 '20 at 21:34
They seem to talk about GLONASS, so maybe the CHAKYA system is defunct. – Raffles Oct 27 '20 at 21:41
