Russia is behind GPS navigation failures in the Baltic Sea

The Ministry of Defense of Germany believes that Moscow is most likely responsible for GPS malfunctions in the Baltic Sea region.

Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, complaints about GPS signal interference have become more frequent in the Baltic Sea region. This is reported by T-online.

Sometimes the system completely refuses, sometimes it shows the wrong position. Disturbances in the operation of GPS affect the navigation of sea vessels and aircraft. So, in mid-March, the GPS system of British Defense Minister Grant Shapp’s plane failed.

“The malfunctions in the global navigation satellite system are most likely of Russian origin and are based on disturbances in the electromagnetic spectrum, including those occurring in the Kaliningrad region,” said David Helmbold, a spokesman for the German Defense Ministry.

OSINT researcher Markus Jonsson also claims that the “Baltic Silencer” is located off the coast of Kaliningrad.

USM recently wrote that the Russians are trying to trick GPS navigators in order to export stolen Ukrainian grain.
