If Kaliningrad is the source, it is time to put this area out of service to Putin permanently.More than 1,600 European planes hit by mystery GPS jamming with Russia feared responsible
Planes flying over and around the Baltic Sea in northern Europe have been suffering technical problems caused by jamming since Sunday, with 1614 planes, mostly civilian, reporting problems since then.
Such interference poses serious issues for pilots, as it can force them to contend with fake signals that give false information about the plane’s position in the sky.
A map posted on X by an open-source intelligence account that tracks interference shows incidents widely spread across Poland and southern Sweden.
Most of the incidents appear to be taking place in Polish airspace, OSINT blogs have reported that planes flying in German, Danish, Swedish, Latvian and Lithuanian airspace have suffered interference problems.
Notably, little to no interference appears to be taking place in Belarus, a staunch Russian ally, or Kaliningrad, the Russian province separated from the mainland by sea and land.
A Lithuanian defense official told Newsweek: "Russian armed forces have a wide spectrum of military equipment dedicated for GNSS interference, including jamming and spoofing, at varying distances, duration and intensity.
"Those capabilities are used to create an ‘atmosphere of threat and a sense of helplessness in society", a Polish Defense Ministry official said.
A Lithuanian defense source told the outlet: "Russian armed forces have a wide spectrum of military equipment dedicated for GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) interference, including jamming and spoofing, at varying distances, duration and intensity."
A leading military expert said that Russia's dominance in the electronics war should be a 'wake-up call' for the UK's military.

More than 1,600 planes have been hit by GPS interference in less than two days and it is Russia is behind the interference.www.lbc.co.uk
If "strategic ambiguity" is the new watch-word, nothing should be off the table. Including the possibility of shutting down Kaliningrad. And if Putin really means it and a Russian escalation might mean Russian strikes on airbases inside NATO, to target f-16s slated for Ukranian use, then that NATO no-fly-zone Zelensky asked for early on over Ukraine might start looking like more of a possibility.If Kaliningrad is the source, it is time to put this area out of service to Putin permanently.
IIRC with the episode of the Russian missile flying over Poland, establishing a "no fly zone" near the borders of NATO countries is discussed.If "strategic ambiguity" is the new watch-word, nothing should be off the table.

That's a good start.IIRC with the episode of the Russian missile flying over Poland, establishing a "no fly zone" near the borders of NATO countries is discussed.
Then everyone flew using huge civilian radar systems (that were pretty much a US monopoly).Once upon a time, there was no GPS, and yet pilots managed to fly and land planes.
The provision of weapons to Ukraine using GPS for targeting means that GPS is inevitably going to be attacked.
If the means are not at hand, it cannot be done, The Putin has nothing to worry about, for the now.People apparently don't realize what establishing a no-fly zone requires.
And of course, should Russia decide to launch a surprise attack,
It would require massive strikes deep into Russian territory, against radars, SAMs, airfields, command centers, etc.I don't see anything wrong there, shooting down russian planes by Nato won't have any response worth considering.
That's the point of strategic ambiguity.Meanwhile Russia may be thinking, is NATO is deciding to launch a surprise attack on Kalingrad
And if NATO brings those resources together, it could do it. Which is the point.It would require massive strikes deep into Russian territory, against radars, SAMs, airfields, command centers, etc.
Such massive attack would with near 100% certainty provoke tactical nuclear strikes against NATO airbases and other assets where these attacks will be launched from.And if NATO brings those resources together, it could do it. Which is the point.
Ah yes, the Russians need to jam GPS in Sweden because of Ukrainian using GPS targeting in Ukraine and Southern RussiaOnce upon a time, there was no GPS, and yet pilots managed to fly and land planes.
The provision of weapons to Ukraine using GPS for targeting means that GPS is inevitably going to be attacked.
Russian missiles in the current context.I don't see anything wrong there, shooting down russian planes by Nato won't have any response worth considering.
Nuclear missiles, more likely. It's a dangerous (and not bright) dream to think Russia would engage "all of Nato" conventionally.Russian missiles in the current context.
Turkey already did it, and Moscow complained, but that was it.I don't see anything wrong there, shooting down russian planes by Nato won't have any response worth considering.
