Blog Editor’s Note: Aside from the middle east and Ukraine, northern Norway might be the most jammed place in the world. Just search our site for “Norway” to find numerous mentions.
Several quotes from the recent article below that are of particular interest:
“Pilots here have never experienced more GPS jamming than this November and December.”
““GPS problems are reported 2-3 times per week by our pilots since 2018. This has now escalated vastly,” Widerøe’s Catharina Solli says to iFinnmark.”
“An overview by the Norwegian Communications Authority (Nkom), published by Faktisk Verifiserbar, shows 81 days with loss of GPS signals in eastern Finnmark in the period from January 1 to November 16. That was four times more than reported in 2021.”
We wonder why? Maybe training and preps for more interference in Ukraine and/or elsewhere? Lots of new folks in the military needing training?
It’s a poser.
Pilots are reporting loss of navigation GPS on flights both in the eastern and western parts of Finnmark, Norway’s northernmost region, newspaper iFinnmark reports.
It is jamming from Russia’s Kola Peninsula that seriously troubles passenger flights to the remote airports in Finnmark.
