Over the last 46 hours, more than 873 passenger jets flying over the south Baltics have experienced navigation equipment malfunctions due to electronic warfare activities. These incidents, involving GPS spoofing and jamming, have been attributed to Russian military operations, particularly those based in Kaliningrad, as reported by OSINT analyst Markus Jonsson. A pilot has highlighted the routine nature of such disruptions to commercial airlines, emphasizing the risks to civilian air travel and endangering thousands of European passengers. Notably, a Ryanair flight, identified as SP-RKS, lost GPS functionality for at least two hours while operating in and out of Vilnius.
