Today, the Estonian authorities blamed Russia's signals interference for causing an armed Ukrainian drone to veer off-course and crash, exploding in a field 80 kilometres inside NATO territory.
It's just one sign of the growing risks from Russian electronic warfare in the Baltic States, which their governments say presents a real risk to civil aviation and potentially mobile phone connectivity. But now they plan to fight back.
as you see from this open-source map of #gps jamming incidents, a chunk of the Baltic States is bright red. It tallies with the Baltic States' allegations that the epicentre of this electronic interference is the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad.
Lithuanian authorities recently stated that Russia had moved jamming equipment to 4 new locations in Kaliningrad. Latvians say they’ve moved it to the Pskov region and Estonians claim they’ve seen more devices near Kingisiepp.
