The European Commission said that the navigation system of a plane carrying Russian Ursula von der Leyen was suspended, the European Commission said.
One spokesman said that “GPS Jamming” occurred, but still landed safely while the chairman of the committee was trying to arrive in southern Bulgaria on Sunday.
They added:
The Financial Times, citing a name -free civil servant, reported that the plane of Von Der Leyen should land with a pilot to land with a pilot.
The European Commission said that “threats and intimidation are regular components of Russian hostile actions,” and this incident will strengthen our promise to enhance our defense and strengthen support for Ukraine.
The EU will be deployed in a low earth’s orbit to strengthen the ability to detect GPS interference, according to the incident.
During the flight, the Bulgarian government confirmed that “the satellite signal that transmits information to the airplane’s GPS navigation system has been neutralized.”
The statement said, “In order to ensure the safety of flight, the aviation control service immediately provided an alternative landing method using ground navigation tools.”
A spokesman for Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for Kremlin, said the information was “inaccurate.”
Bulgaria Airlines Transportation Service Authority said in February 2022 that Russia has been “noticeably increased,” a GPS accident, including Jamming, when Russia began its full invasion in Ukraine.
Over the past few years, tens of thousands of jamming cases have been reported by airlines working around the Baltic coast. Three Baltic countries in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia are north of Russian territory.
In March 2024, RAF airplanes, which transported Grant Schapps at the time of the UK, reported the spupping case.
The plane flew away from Russia’s Russia, between Russia and Russia between Poland and Lithuania, was able to continue traveling safely.
This problem is so widespread that the European Aviation Safety Bureau (EASA) and the International Aviation Transportation Association (IATA) have convened a special meeting to discuss the spuping case in 2024 and warn that “a major challenge to aviation safety can be raised.”
Some Eastern European ministers also alerted you, saying that Aviation’s GPS signals continued to stop, saying that they could not exclude the atmospheric disaster.
Some of the flights operated by Finnair, a Finnair carrier heading to Estonia, went around mid -last year after claiming that the pilot could not be safely searched due to jamming. Foreign Minister Lithuania compared to “a headlighted person while driving at night.”
However, there are people who challenge the seriousness of GPS Jamming. The British private aviation authorities (CAA) told the BBC that the “complex navigation system” of the aircraft does not depend only on GPS, so all interference does not affect the direct navigation of the aircraft. ”
The CAA said that GPS Jamming and Spoping are mainly by -products of military activities near the conflict area, “intentional measures that prevent global commercial air transportation operations.”
Moscow regularly rejects accusations of interference or attacks on commercial aviation, and has not yet established a proven link between Russia and GPS Jamming.
But the European government and experts regularly condemn Russia, and that, along with the Kremlin strategy, argued that it is generally suitable for suspected strategies to spray disability and undermine European security.
Airplanes can rely on different types of navigation than GPS, but if they interfere with it in the midst of flight, if the pilot is not intended with other airplanes, it can increase the risk of collisions to fly with water or other obstacles.
Keir Giles, a senior consulting colleague of Chatham House’s Russian and Eurasian programs, told the BBC that such interference was actually “continuous features” near Russia, “” “time and positioning” that was considered natural before.
“They went to normalization in an isolated incident,” he added. “No one could be willing or to do it,” he added.
Von Der Leyen visited Bulgaria as part of the Eastern EU tour to discuss defense preparations.
The committee spokesman said during the tour, “I saw Russia’s daily threats and Proxy’s daily threats.”
