JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: NATO'S GIANT WAR GAMES NEAR RUSSIA EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS WITH THEIR GPS SYSTEMS - A CLEVER DEMONSTRATION BY RUSSIA OF WHAT A HOSTILE NATO MIGHT FACE?

COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN SOUTHFRONT



“On November 6, Finland’s air navigation services issued a warning for air traffic due to a large-scale GPS interruption in the northern part of the country. Norway released a similar warning about loss of GPS signals for pilots in its own airspace in late October when the Trident Juncture started. Since then, some mainstream media outlets have been in fire speculating about the “Russian involvement” into these GPS failures.”



"Prime Minster Juha Sipila has come with a statement blaming Moscow for GPS failures during the recent NATO war games."



This is quite possible.

Russia is known to possess some powerful military electronic counter-measures.

If it was so, it would appear a brilliant move by Russia to use NATO's own gigantic war games for a real-life demonstration of one of the powerful weapons they could face.

It would have made a big impression in the cockpits and control centers of NATO.
