A 63-hour-long marathon of GPS jamming attacks disrupted global satellite navigation systems for hundreds of aircraft flying through the Baltic region – and Russia is thought to be responsible
Russia is suspected of launching a record-breaking 63-hour-long attack on GPS signals in the Baltic region. The incident, which affected hundreds of passenger jets earlier this month, occurred amid rising tensions between Russia and the NATO military alliance more than two years since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
“We have seen an increase in GPS jamming since the start of Russia’s war against Ukraine, and allies have publicly warned that Russia has been behind GPS jamming affecting aviation and shipping,” a NATO official told New Scientist. “Russia has a track record of jamming GPS signals and has a range of capabilities for electronic warfare.”
Russia, Russia, Russia. Whenever they start crowing about those fuckers I can be sure that the truth is something entirely different.
I invite you to check the multitude of examples and references here. Russia’s history of cyberwarfare goes way beyond the US media’s recent obsession.
The wiki site does say ‘claimed’ for all those attacks
Recent? As if the cold war never happened.
They never said “recent”. The cold war ended in 1989, and GPS became fully operational in 1993. Not sure what your point is…
I’m talking about “the U.S. media’s recent obsession.”
The word “recent” is in the comment I replied to.
Are you one of them gaslighters Gen-Zers keep referring to?
Have you watched the news in the past 2 years?

Who else would have the interest or capability of jamming GPS over Europe? Curious to see who you think it could be if not Russia.
