Russia is disrupting satellite systems in the Baltic region in preparation for conflict with NATO, an Estonian military commander has said, as the head of a GPS security group called for the alliance to act to protect the system used by airlines, smartphones and weapons systems.
In January, jamming was detected in eastern and southeastern parts of NATO’s newest member Finland amid reports from an open-source intelligence researcher that a “Baltic jammer” in Kaliningrad, Russia’s Baltic Sea enclave, was responsible.

if shooting started, that EW system’s crew has got to have the shortest life expectancy of anyone
Like they have the resources to fight NATO, lol
So NATO will be jamming right back, right? The idea that just letting Russia fuck around until it finds a pain point has been proven not to work.
A HARM missile is either capable of hitting such emitters, or should be readily modifiable to do so.
