Europe is facing a significant rise in GPS interference, particularly in the Baltic and Black Seas, with incidents affecting aircraft, including one carrying European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Authorities suspect Russian interference, which has increased since the start of the war in Ukraine. Reports indicate a dramatic rise in GPS jamming and spoofing incidents, particularly in Lithuania and Estonia. Experts describe these as hybrid warfare tactics used by Russia to intimidate neighboring countries. Despite concerns, pilots are trained to handle such situations, and backup systems are in place. The EU and NATO are taking measures to counter this interference.
