Russian GPS signal jamming has intensified near Latvia, raising concerns about flight safety and air navigation disruptions.
On January 26, 2025, intensified Russian-made GPS signal jamming activities were observed near Latvia, particularly affecting the Baltic region's airspace. This interference disrupts civilian and military navigation systems, posing significant risks to aviation safety. Latvian intelligence and aviation authorities have noted a growing trend of such electronic warfare tactics, which complicate precise location tracking and flight operations. The jamming is considered a form of hostile Russian hybrid warfare aimed at undermining NATO allied airspace security and situational awareness. Officials warn that this threat could endanger the safe movement of aircraft, necessitating increased vigilance and countermeasures.
Confidence: High
The event explicitly describes hostile Russian GPS jamming targeting Baltic airspace, a clear aggressor action, and mentions Latvian authorities monitoring the situation, which indicates defensive preparedness.
