Kaliningrad GPS/GNSS jammer, active continuously since early September 2024, was turned off on September 30, marking a new pattern since April.
Since April 2024, the Russian GPS/GNSS jammer located in Kaliningrad operated typically during nighttime hours. However, starting the first week of September, it shifted to a continuous 24/7 operation, presumably due to increased perceived threats like drone attacks or to disrupt Western aviation. On September 30, 2024, at 13:00 UTC, the jammer was likely completely turned off, marking a significant change in its operation pattern. Observations were limited during nighttime, but the shift from constant jamming is a new development. This information is derived from signal observations and monitoring detailed by open-source analyst @auonsson.
Confidence: High
The event clearly describes Russian hostile use of GPS jamming technology targeting Western navigation and aircraft in the Kaliningrad region, evidencing aggressor activity. No defensive or allied preparatory actions are described.
