Summary

Headline: Massive GPS jamming spike near Finland and Baltic States, March 16-18 2024

Short Summary: Unprecedented GPS jamming in Baltic Sea region and Finnish airspace near Kaliningrad and Baltic States in mid March 2024.

Description

A significant spike in GPS jamming activity was observed over the Baltic Sea region and along the Finnish and Baltic States' borders, especially around 16-18 March 2024. The disruption appears concentrated along civilian air routes and near the Kaliningrad oblast, suggesting coordinated electronic warfare activity likely originating from Russian assets. Multiple independent charts and jamming heat maps are presented as evidence.
