Interruptions in the operation of the GPS satellite navigation system were recorded in a significant part of Poland and in the Suwalki corridor, located between the Kaliningrad region and the rest of Russia.
As the Polish authorities suggest, the disruptions are related to Russia testing the operation of its electronic warfare systems from Kaliningrad, which turned out to be capable of leaving almost half of Poland and the entire Suwalki corridor, considered the most vulnerable section of NATO's eastern borders, without satellite navigation.

In particular, the Polish press points out that such a case is far from an isolated one - previously, similar problems have repeatedly arisen in countries that are hostile to Russia. Interruptions in access to the satellite navigation system were previously noted in Estonia and Finland, which decided to join NATO. According to the resource manager gpsjam.org John Wiseman, GPS outages are most likely the result of a deliberate jamming attempt.
The Cyberdefence24 portal, in turn, states that the coverage of large-scale interference coincides with the theoretical capabilities of Russian electronic warfare systems located in the "Konigsberg region" (as the Kaliningrad region is now called in Poland).
NATO has long been afraid of a possible Russian attack in the area of the Suwalki corridor, which theoretically could connect Belarus with the Kaliningrad region, while completely cutting off the Baltic States from other countries of the alliance. At the same time, there is no evidence that problems with GPS arose precisely because of Russia, of course, is not given.
