• A top secret Russian electronic weapon allegedly based in Kaliningrad has been jamming GPS technology on flights and ships across the eastern flank of NATO, Western intelligence services fear.
• There has been disruption to the GPS guidance of air and sea traffic in Finland, the Baltic states and Poland, according to Estonia’s military chief.
• ‘What we have seen is a malfunctioning of GPS for ships and air traffic,’ General Martin Harem, commander of the Estonian Defense Forces, told the Telegraph.
• ‘And we really do not know if they [Russia] want to achieve something or just practice and test their equipment.’
• The suspected electronic weapon causing these disruptions is likely based in Russia’s military site in Kaliningrad, sitting between Lithuania and Poland, according to Western intelligence findings.
• Experts warned that if the same happens to ships, they could collide due to not being able to see each other on navigation systems.
• Gen Harem said: ‘Whatever they [Russia] do here, one aim is to degrade our stability, self-confidence, our trust to the West, unity and cohesion.’
• This comes as a shelling attack has today killed at least 28 people at a bakery in the Russian-occupied city of Lysychansk, Moscow-installed officials have said.
