Russian satellites are suspected of disrupting Global Positioning System (GPS) signals across Europe since 2019, according to reports from local media. Researchers have identified these assets as the cause of persistent signal interference that has affected the region for several years.
Which satellites caused the GPS disruptions?
Researchers have linked the interference to Russian satellites, according to reports from local media. The findings indicate that these satellites have been disrupting the GPS signals used for navigation and positioning throughout Europe.
How long has the signal interference persisted?
The disruptions reportedly began in 2019, according to reports. This timeline establishes that the interference has been an ongoing issue for several years before researchers identified the source of the problem.
