Since July 2024, Russian GPS jamming has disrupted about 7% of all flights in Finland, severely affecting aircraft navigation in Finnish airspace.
From July 2024 onward, Russian electronic warfare efforts have intermittently jammed GPS signals impacting Finnish civilian flights, with approximately 7% of flights affected. This GPS jamming compromises aircraft navigation and timing systems, particularly observable around Helsinki airspace. The attacks illustrate an elevated Russian electronic warfare campaign targeting critical aviation infrastructure of a NATO member state, potentially to degrade civilian and military air operations. Such persistent jamming reflects an increased threshold and sophistication of hybrid tactics by Russia in the Baltic region.
Confidence: High
The event clearly details ongoing Russian electronic warfare GPS jamming targeting civilian aircraft navigation in Finnish airspace since July 2024, constituting a hostile act against NATO-member airspace. There is no mention of Finnish or NATO defensive preparations in this report.
