    Is Putin trying to knock out West's GPS network? EU aviation authorities claim satellites are under constant 'jamming' or 'spoofing' attacks disrupting navigation from Finland to the Mediterranean
    Airlines have been warned to watch out for false or inaccurate GPS systems

    The hazard will be from a private jet with a dodgy crew falling into the trap. The 'aviator mindset' can be taught but not imposed.

      A lot of hikers ect. use GPS and Glonass on their devices. I just saw an ad that now is a little out of date saying that, since the US and Russian are "playing nice" we can used both.
      If I should die before I wake...great,a little more sleep.

        Always amused by people who can't use a map when 'out there'. Not that I'm an expert but I stay where I can rely on Pilotage instead of Navigation.

          Timepiece, map, compass. And by timepiece I don't mean one of toy watches from big tech with a phone in it and a 7 day battery. I mean a real weatherproof wristwatch.
