‼️ After Lithuania reported increased GPS interference, Finland now confirms a rise in GPS and AIS disruptions in the Gulf of Finland and the Baltic Sea this summer. The Finnish Coast Guard reports that Russia is actively jamming navigation signals, causing ships to lose GPS positioning.

1. I can’t figure out why the rest of the world doesn’t agree, that if you jam freedom of Navigation signals, that you can fire a anti Radiation missile at the offending jammer.

2. Shouldn’t it be pretty easy to locate those jamming devices?

3. That sounds like a hostile act. At what point can European countries respond aggressively?

4. Is it coming from Kaliningrad or St Petersburg?

5. It would be a shame if some Home on Jamming long range drones operated from nowhere, and belonging to no-one would start flying into the jammers 😲

   Or better yet, use some shadow companies and just buy everything and make everything traceable back to russia 😂

6. The why here is missing. Is Russia doing it just as punishment for supplying weapons to Ukraine?

7. It would be such a shame if some drone ships accidentally crashed into Russian ships because of this. Losing navigation can be so dangerous!

8. Europe pretending everything is fine and does not make the threat go away. The contrary is the case: Russia will increase it’s activity until it is stopped. When do European leaders grasp that such a behavior needs a proper response?

9. Either massively counterjam or fire anti radiation missiles for gods sake. Even if only fired in excercises as a sign surely ruZZia will notice and they have no ballz anyways…

10. Too bad mariners don’t know how to read a compass and sextant. /s

    GPS reliance for maritime navigation is something of a mystery to me; we’ve navigated the globe for centuries without it, so why would we have to care about it being disrupted. People have become way too lazy by technology.

11. These are clearly acts of aggression. No civilized peaceful nation would engage in such behavior

12. In northern Norway this has been happening for many years; it’s affecting airplanes, helicopters, ships, and sometimes the gps in your car.

    It’s become a part of life, and pilots note it down and report it to the authorities, who promptly does nothing about it.

13. If blockade of ports is act of war, creating a GPS dead zone should be too

14. And we do nothing in response. Weak.

15. Sounds like a HARM problem to me.
