Extra fun when you learn that GPS/ADS-B technology was made public by the US because Russia shot down a commercial aircraft that wandered into their airspace in the 80s.
Russia's GPS jamming puts aviation, shipping at additional risk as well | News | ERR

Can’t Ukraine just switch to GLONASS? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I don’t really know anything about satellites (just that my Garmin supports both).
fne8w2ah@lemmy.world 9 months ago
GLONASS is Russian though, so very likely no.
hai@lemmy.ml 9 months ago
Yeah, but aren’t they unlikely to jam GLONAS? Can they see people’s locations if they use it?

Pretty interesting. I'm gonna take a wild guess that most of the low level (green) jamming is just plain old electromagnetic interference?
Really curious to know what's going on over Poland. Found this article talking about it. Seems to think Russia is responsible which I suppose isn't a surprise.

Yeah, it looks to me like this is mostly a map of gps noise, I would assume that only a fraction of it is intentional jamming. But it paints a pretty clear pattern, with the only large areas of heavy jamming being around Russia and the middle east (Israel, Jordan, Iraq, iran) and between Pakistan & India. All areas that have real concerns about being the target of gps guided nukes.

yeah, i thought to myself: “what the hell is going on in poland?”
