Russia's attempts to jam GPS signals, which began after a series of drone attacks, have led to interference with the navigation system in Estonia.
Source. Bloomberg writes about this with reference to a letter from the Estonian Department of Transport.
According to experts, the source of interference is located in the Leningrad region, which borders Estonia and Finland.
Due to the interference with GPS, pilots of aircraft flying to the Baltic States and Finland have to use alternative navigation methods.
The Estonian authorities believe that the suppression of GPS signals is one of the measures by which Russia is trying to protect strategic objects on its territory.
The Finnish Air Traffic Authority confirmed that Finnish pilots use alternative navigation systems and that commercial flights are operating on schedule.
