Since Ukraine has stepped up its drone strikes against Russia, Finland and its Baltic neighbors have faced increasingly serious GPS signal interference in 2024. GPS jammerTraficom, the Finnish transport and communications agency, said that this type of signal interference is one of the measures taken by Russia to counter drone attacks. Although Russia has not explicitly admitted its GPS interference behavior, multiple reports from NATO have pointed out that Russia frequently uses electronic warfare to protect its facilities.Wifi jammer

　　GPS signal failure and emergency navigation

　　In order to deal with the flight safety risks caused by GPS signal interference, Finnish flights have adopted inertial navigation and ground navigation system alternatives. signal jammer Although these systems are slightly insufficient in high-precision navigation, they can still effectively replace GPS navigation in temporarily ensuring flight safety. Traficom emphasized that flights to Finland can still ensure safe landing when GPS signals are unstable. cell phone jammer

　　NATO concerns: potential threats behind electronic interference

　　The Estonian government has discussed the interference incident with NATO members and regards it as part of Russia's "hybrid attack." NATO believes that Russian electronic jamming not only interferes with GPS navigation, but also poses threats in other areas. These interference behaviors may be intended to weaken NATO and EU freedom of action in the region, while deterring Ukraine and its supporters, especially neighboring countries that provide air assistance.

　　This incident reveals the vulnerability of GPS signals in modern warfare. Against the backdrop of GPS signals being susceptible to jamming, regional flight safety has become increasingly dependent on technologies such as inertial navigation, further highlighting the need for efficient and reliable navigation systems.
