Provocation from Russia - powerful GPS jamming

Russia's military threat to the United States has grown in recent years as Mr. Putin has gained strength. In the past three years, Russia has used its unique GSP jammer to carry out military interference against neighboring countries, which has seriously affected the normal operation of other countries.Despite Russia's repeated claims that it was not the government's fault, this is clearly a mistake. For other countries without the capability to resist interference, the Russian interference against the aircraft is so strong that it could harm everyone who flies. Ukraine and Finland have condemned the Russian government's actions on more than one occasion

The concern comes as civilian aviation and communications systems have repeatedly been jammed in connection with nearby Russian military activities. The situation was similarly serious in September 2017, when airliners from companies SAS and Widerøe in periods had to navigate with the help of radio signals due to loss of GPS when they entered the East Finnmark airspace. The jamming coincided with the major Russian military exercise «Zapad».
