Recent reports indicate that Russia is actively jamming GPS signals, affecting both military and civilian aircraft across Northern Europe. The source of the jamming has been identified near Narva, Estonia, approximately halfway to St. Petersburg, Russia. This escalation has raised concerns about the safety of air travel in the region, with Finair halting flights due to the heightened risk. Analysts Brandon Davenport and Rich Ganske, reflecting on their 2019 article, warn that this could potentially lead to a major airline disaster. A drone-based method supports the location findings. The Kremlin's actions are seen as part of a broader hybrid campaign targeting NATO member states, undermining military logistics and safety.
looks like Russian GPS jamming works. https://t.co/tJTSCrZ3MR
❗️Here is the location of the GPS jammer - in russia. Soon there will be a catastrophe with hundreds of deaths. Finair has already stopped flights in the region because the danger is simply too great. And Europe is doing nothing. https://t.co/LPait2yS7d
The Kremlin is pursuing a hybrid campaign directly targeting NATO states, including using GPS jamming and sabotaging military logistics in NATO members’ territory. 🧵(1/8) https://t.co/zToNNdTQj6 https://t.co/FPrAHvxIhw
Despite Russian denials, more evidence that Russians are indeed jamming GPS across Northern Europe. A commercial airline disaster is becoming inevitable. But that's what russians do, they destroy, as long as we let them. https://t.co/cbVTxlbARa
The GPS-jammer affecting aircrafts around Estonia is located in Russia, about halfway to St Petersburg from Narva, Estonia. This is shown by plotting the highest density of intersecting radio horizons of jammed aircrafts on a map. Further, a drone-based method supports it.🧵 https://t.co/RbUnZkkqJ1
In response to Russia’s recent spate of jamming military and civilian aircraft in Europe, Brandon Davenport and Rich Ganske reflect on their 2019 article “‘Recalculating Route’: A Realistic Risk Assessment for GPS.” https://t.co/5sxCjR2JUE
