Russia’s electronic warfare causing GPS havoc over the Black Sea
Russian electronic warfare systems are distorting GPS signals over the Black Sea so much that it is difficult to even track international passenger flights, the Krymsky Veter (Crimean Wind) monitoring group announced on Telegram on Jan. 11.
Passenger flights travel along an established Black Sea corridor near the coast of Turkey.
However, instead of showing up on their actual flight paths, the dotted line that represents an aircraft’s flight trajectory is instead shown flying over Crimea.
The group tracked AeroLogic’s Boeing 777-FZN traveling from Leipzig to Seoul using the Flightradar flight tracking service to show as an example.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
