Aircraft communications around Kaliningrad and St. Petersburg have been continuously jammed over the past week, with St. Petersburg jamming always active and nightly runs near Kaliningrad.

Aggressor

Summary

Over the last seven days, electronic jamming of aircraft communications has been consistently observed, with the St. Petersburg region experiencing constant interference and Kaliningrad witnessing nightly jamming operations. The monitoring data indicates varying impacts, including instances where nearly all observed aircraft were jammed, though in some cases the sample size of planes was low. The data collection was partly hindered by network issues at the datacenter used for monitoring. This pattern highlights ongoing Russian electronic warfare efforts to disrupt aviation communications in these critical Baltic regions.

Classification

Confidence: High

The event describes Russian electronic jamming targeting aircraft communications in Russian regions adjacent to the Baltic, indicating hostile electronic warfare operations consistent with aggressor hybrid tactics. There is no mention of allied defensive measures in this specific thread.
