Since the beginning of a full -scale invasion of Russia in Ukraine in 2022, regular obstacles based on GPS were registered in Europe.
This is especially common in the airspace over Estonia, Finland and Poland. The Minister of Transport of Lithuanian transport Yevgenia Sabutis said that in Lithuania in Lithuania more than a thousand cases of GPS intervention in Lithuania were registered than in May. According to a number of experts, Russia became the culprit of these obstacles.
Military analysts, first of all, pay attention to the Kaliningrad region, where, as the Western media wrote, there is a powerful military infrastructure for the electronic warfare. Polish defense news researchers found that obstacle sources are not on Russian ships, as previously expected, but on Earth in the Kaliningrad region.
Not only aviation, but also sea transport suffers from navigation failures. As explained by Bilda Geoinsider, in addition to GPS interventions, Russia can fake the data of the vessels of its “shadow fleet” through the AIS automatic identification system.
Such attacks are more difficult to detect, but they lead to the fact that the ships “disappear” or appear in completely different places, ”the experts say.
The authorities of the Baltic and Poland suspect that Russia is trying to hide the illegal supply of oil bypass sanctions.
In March of this year, eight European countries, including the Baltic states, Poland, France and Ukraine, filed a complaint with the UN, accusing Russia of GPS.
