Russian Satellites Jamming GPS Signals Across Europe, Scientists Say

Scientists and U.S. military briefers have identified a pattern of GPS interference across Europe. The interference consists of short, widespread signal disruptions. Analysis links the disruptions to Russian satellites. The satellites are believed to be intentionally jamming GPS signals. GPS technology underpins navigation for civilians and critical infrastructure. The incidents expose how dependent modern societies are on satellite navigation. Researchers warn that the vulnerability could affect transportation, finance and emergency services. Authorities are urged to assess defenses and consider mitigation strategies.
