  1. More scaremongering.

    Why would Russia even do that? What’s the point? Even if result is plane crash what would it achieve? One anti Russian politician dead and Russia inevitably gets the blame for it. A thousand more are ready to take her place.

    All that „Russia did it!“ news remind me heavily about the Nord Stream situation. Russia clearly had no intention to do that but nobody cared, Russia did it. Even after Ukranian citizen gets caught, Reddit still believes it is somehow Russias fault.

  2. The article doesn’t say, but was this targed jamming? Or did the plane get caught in widespread incidental jamming?

    Russia has been doing widespread GPS jamming across eastern Europe for a while. There’s lots of stories about it impacting commercial flights and shipping.

    Being hit by this widespread jamming is one thing, being hit with targeted jamming is another.

  3. GPS jamming and spoofing has been a frequent occurrence for all aircraft operations in the region since the war began.

    It is common for pilots to revert to inertial or ground-based navigation sources when this happens.

  4. 1. In order to jam GPS for the types of receivers that commercial planes use, you need truck sized equipment in the vicinity, at preferably more than one location.
    2. Commercial planes are just fine without GPS for prolonged periods of time. Yes, even during landing and take off. If you have to land on a non properly equipped airstrip things can get a bit difficult, but that’s about it. If you’re landing at a major civ airport it simply CAN’T be an issue.

    This is a non-story where no journalists cared enough to check with the industry. Or it’s fear mongering, pick your poison.

  5. AI can neglate the need for gps because the AI itself can figure out where it is located and find out its own position based on cameras and tracking based off maps

    Using AI can be the crux needed to defeat the gps jamming russia uses therefore taking out one of their main weapons. AI is the key to this and can be used for flights and planes all the way to missiles and drones completely unaffected by gps jamming wiyh on board AI chips for location tracking.
