Found a "black hole" left by electronic weapons of the Russian Federation: Baltic countries talk about catastrophe - media

Representatives of the Baltic States have warned that on the horizon there is a disaster, if the muffling of GPS signals of aircraft, which is suspected of Moscow, will continue. About it writes the British tabloid The Sun. This week, Finnair National Airlines Finnair announced the termination of flights to the Estonian city of Tartu for a month. Last week, two Finnair aircraft were forced to turn around after their GPS signals were shaded and there were difficulties with landing.

These are just some of the cases of electronic attacks that have affected tens of thousands of commercial flights. Electronic attacks can make satellite navigation, in fact, in vain, pilots will doubt the routes and can barely inform where they are. Due to distorted signals there are obstacles that are not actually not. This week, the ministers of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have warned that GPS muffling could lead to an air catastrophe.

After the full -scale invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine, the scale of electronic obstacles in the Baltic region increased sharply. OSINT researchers believe that electronic attacks come from Kaliningrad. But the new analysis indicates that the "Black hole" is located in the central part of Russia. The analyst Marcus Jonson compared the data collected with drones from the place of the aircraft. He believes that the source of obstacles is in the area of ​​St. Petersburg.

The Economist refers to sources that have private data, and writes about a clear evidence of Russia's intervention. These areas also correspond to the location of Russian military facilities. It is also believed that the GPS obstacles on the Eastern flank of NATO stands the Secret Russian weapons "Tobol". It is unknown whether Russia is trying to directly interfere with commercial flights.

The probable reason is that by the silence of the signals of the Russian Federation tries to protect its military objects from Ukrainian drones, and civilian flights are a side phenomenon. Defense Minister Grant Chapsa suggests that in the coming years, all aircraft will probably be many alternative navigation systems. Within eight months by the end of March, 2309 Ryanair flights and 1368 Wizz Air aircraft registered satellite problems in the Baltic region.

82 flights British Airways, seven Jet2 flights, four Easyjet and seven TUI were injured. In the same period, about 46,000 aircraft registered GPS over the Baltic Sea. Military expert Jack Wtling from the Rusi Analytical Center said the Russians have long been stuck GPS. "Everywhere there is a large Russian garrison, you see GPS problems, and this is in Kaliningrad. They just turn on this thing because there are constant orders," he explained.
