UK military has been jamming satellites for a year. Where in Europe GPS is failing

UK military aircraft have been jamming satellite signals for a year. Civilian planes transmit their coordinates via ADS-B, including the reliability of this data. If there is interference or signal spoofing, reliability drops.

John Wiseman's GPSJAM service collects these reports. A green hexagon means less than 2% of aircraft affected, yellow — 2 to 10%, red — more than 10%.

Currently red zones include:

▪️ The Gulf of Finland and the border with Finland

▪️ The Baltics and the Kaliningrad region

▪️ Moldova and Romania's Black Sea coast

▪️ Istanbul and northern Turkey

▪️ The Caucasus

▪️ The eastern Mediterranean

Blank areas: few civilian flights over Ukraine. Aircraft fly over Russia, but their signals are almost not received.
