Summary

On March 1, 2024, a Baltic-region GPS jammer continued active disruption, impacting civilian air traffic monitoring systems across Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Kaliningrad. The interference, visible on ADSBexchange and tracked by airplanes.live metrics, caused flight tracking anomalies and GPS signal jamming. This is a recurring event with reports indicating the jammer has been on since at least February 29. The disruption affects civilian aviation situational awareness by jamming GPS signals, complicating accurate aircraft position reporting. The source @auonsson confirmed the jammer did not turn off as expected and noted its clear visibility through multiple civilian flight tracking platforms, highlighting a persistent electronic warfare tactic affecting the Baltic airspace.

Classification

Confidence: High

The event describes active GPS jamming in the Baltic region impacting civilian aviation, a hostile electronic warfare tactic consistent with aggressive disruptor activity. There is no mention of allied defensive preparations or responses at this time.
