russische 'gps-jammers' storen westerse vliegtuigen: 'doelbewuste actie is hybride aanval'

Europese vliegmaatschappijen worden gehinderd door Russische ‘gps-jammers’ die hun navigatiesystemen verstoren. Voor vliegtuigen van de Finse luchtvaartmaatschappij Finnair die vliegen op Tartu in Estland is de hinder zelfs zo gevaarlijk, dat alle vluchten op de stad tot nader order aan de grond blijven.

De Finse regering geeft Rusland de schuld van de problemen en agendeert het topic bij de EU en de NAVO, schrijft BNR. Piloten van Finnair krijgen last van storingen in de omgeving van Kaliningrad en kunnen niet meer veilig vliegen, meldt de luchtvaartmaatschappij in een statement. Normaal gaan vliegtuigen in zo’n situatie over op een alternatief systeem, maar het kleine vliegveld in Tartu heeft alleen een gps-systeem.

De Estse minister van Buitenlandse Zaken Margus Tsahkna reageert fel op de beslissing van luchtvaartmaatschappij Finnair. “Dit is een doelbewuste actie die onze levens ontwricht, de levens van mensen in gevaar brengt en kan worden gezien als een hybride aanval”, zegt Tsahnka tegen het Finse ERR.

Het is zeker niet de eerste keer dat melding wordt gemaakt van storingen van gps-systemen. Vorige week schreef de Britse krant ‘The Standard’ nog over de problemen tijdens duizenden vluchten van Britse luchtvaartmaatschappijen vanwege verstoringen in hun gps-signaal. Eerder wees Duitsland al naar Rusland voor grootschalige verstoringen van gps-signalen in het luchtruim boven de Baltische staten.
