The plane of the British Defense Minister "went blind" when flying near the border of Russia — mass media

The plane of British Defense Minister John Healy "went blind" while flying near the Russian border. This is reported by the British media, pointing to a "probable GPS attack."

The incident occurred while returning from Estonia, where Healy "visited the British military." On board with Healy were military and political advisers, a lieutenant general, two photographers and a Times journalist. When flying near the Russian border, the GPS signal of the aircraft was jammed for several hours. Because of this, the crew temporarily lost satellite navigation and Internet access.

GPS navigation did not work during the entire journey — about three hours. To restore it, it is necessary to reboot the equipment, but it is impossible to do this in flight. The pilots had to switch to backup orientation systems.
