Summary

Headline: GPS jamming targeted at Finnish aviation along the Finland–St Petersburg border

Short Summary: Confirmed GPS jamming aimed at Finnish aviation, likely from Russia, forced flight rerouting near the Finland–St Petersburg border.

Description

Reported incident of GPS jamming aimed at Finnish aviation, likely from Russian territory, affecting flight safety between Finland and St Petersburg. The interference led to flight detours due to unreliable GPS signals. This may be the first confirmed case affecting commercial airliner safety in the region.

Evidence

Quotes

The person at CPS-Finland named as Finnish aviation said the jamming took place in East Finland.

They specifically talked about quality of the interference issues along eastern limit.

A route detour had to be made in late June and then July if we see a large plane, more aircraft.

A large set of nodes in materials between Helsinki, metro, and commuter network also complained about loss from GPS. This is the first published example.
