From the land of haribos. |
Are you also as surprised as me of the assassination attempt on von der leyen?
She was travelling to plovdiv on sunday with her charter plane, the arrival was delayed, because the plane lost the satellite navigation aid, so they had to circle an airport for hours, luckily nothing happened and she had a lucky escape.
What is your view of it, who do you think was behind it, do you also agree with the bulgarian authorities that they suspected that it was russia to be behind the interference too? I agree with them that they are behind it as well. |

I can’t see why anyone would think she is important enough to warrant the effort.
She seems so clueless that I would have thought Russia would be keen to keep her in place.

GNSS can be directionally targeted with jamming or spoofing. It's difficult and bold, but possible (certainly to a state actor or aerospace/engineering company). |

That is a horrific move! In that case, if I wasVon der Leyen I would be taking the train in future. |

Not really. Planes have several methods of navigation which will work when GPS fails. If all of them go wrong, they can just get on the radio and ask air traffic control to give them directions. Losing GPS in a commercial aircraft is a minor inconvenience. |

Happens ALL the time nowadays, especially in the Middle East and Russia. Usually spoofing (very easy with the right kit) more than jamming. Pilots are getting used to it and new navigation technology is being developed/released as a result. |
