GPS Jamming by Russia
Thousands of European Flights Disrupted by Suspected Russian GPS Jamming
According to various aviation sources and reports in The Sun, there have been thousands of flights affected by suspected GPS jamming in the UK since last August. The majority of the incidents involved Ryanair and Wizz Air planes, with a total of 2,309 Ryanair flights and 1,368 Wizz Air planes logging sat-nav problems. A small number of British Airways, Jet2, easyJet, and Tui flights were also affected. GPS jamming can pose a danger to air travel, particularly during takeoff and landing. The likely source of the interference is Russia, as reported in The Sun. Approximately 46,000 aircraft in total have logged problems with GPS over the Baltic Sea. Most of the reported incidents occurred in eastern Europe, near Russian borders.
It's important to note that while all articles mention Russia as a possible source, they do not provide concrete evidence to support this claim.
