Passenger aircraft pilots are forced to use alternative navigation systems.
Increasing Russian efforts to disrupt GPS signals following a series of drone strikes in Ukraine has forced airline pilots flying in the Baltic region and over Finland to resort to alternative methods of navigation, Bloomberg reported. The country’s transport agency told reporters that GPS signals in most of Estonia have been disrupted in recent days due to interference from Russian electronic warfare systems.
Passenger air traffic on the Russian border is becoming more and more dangerous, and pilots are increasingly forced to switch to other navigation satellites, although ground signals are still working despite the interference. The Estonian consumer protection agency said the intervention came from Russia’s Leningrad region.
The surge in response comes after Russia has been hit several times by Ukrainian drones in recent weeks; This includes an attack that set fire to oil refineries in southern Russia and a major attack on Moscow.
Finnish air traffic control told Bloomberg that planes in the country use alternative systems and commercial flights are not interrupted, but the practice still poses risks to air navigation.
