Russian GPS Jamming Could Cause Plane Crashes: Over 4,000 Flights Affected! - UATV English
Over 4,000 flights in the Baltic region faced GPS interference from August 2023 to March 2024, with Russia suspected of using jamming and spoofing tactics. These actions disrupt satellite signals like GPS and Galileo, posing risks to aviation safety. Military experts suggest Russia's aim is to protect Kaliningrad from drone attacks, but some believe Moscow's intentions are more aggressive. Even a British Royal Air Force plane carrying Defense Secretary Grant Shapps experienced GPS issues due to Russian electronic warfare over the Baltic Sea. Learn about the risks and potential responses to Russian interference.
