Evidence

Quotes

The Transport and Communications Agency (Traficom) recorded 600 incidents of GPS interference last year, and 200 so far this year, but cannot say for certain if all the cases are intentional or not.

"Interference, in the Gulf of Finland in particular, has increased early in 2024," said agency official Jari Pöntinen.

"Indicators of interference might be intermittent local loss of signal, difficulty locating one's position, incorrect flight information or the need to return to manual navigation."

The data is provided by GPSJam website, which generates maps of likely GPS interference based on civilian reports of their navigation systems' errors.
