Russian GPS Jamming and Spoofing Affects Thousands of Flights Over Baltics

Pilots report widespread interference with navigation systems, posing potential risks despite safety measures.

Russian forces are suspected of jamming and spoofing GPS signals, impacting thousands of flights over the Baltic region.
Incidents of GPS interference have surged since Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, with both commercial and military flights affected.
Pilots are able to manage the disruptions using backup navigation systems, ensuring minimal impact on flight safety.
Aviation authorities and airlines continue to monitor the situation and develop technologies resistant to jamming.
The interference is part of a broader pattern of electronic warfare by Russia, affecting various regions and sectors.
