GPS jamming in the EU... from space

 

"Russian satellites have been identified as the cause of mysterious, seconds-long bursts of GPS interference across Europe—a rare example of human-made GPS interference coming from space. But uncertainty still hangs over whether such interference is intentional and if it could be more powerfully weaponized as GPS jamming with continental reach in the future."

GPS Spoofing

The Veritasium video referenced in the article is a good watch.
I've spent the last 25 years performing aerial surveys over the US using high end Inertial Navigation Systems (tightly coupled GPS and Inertial Measurement Units) and have never experienced obvious jamming, but on several instances we observed GPS spoofing. In one case we were flying near El Paso and the GPS put us over Hudson Bay. In the other case the GPS steered us into Restricted airspace. We knew something was wrong when the INS has us flying sideways.
