Only Russia has vested interest in jamming GPS signals airline rely on for navigation if nothing else to annoy the west.
No, ‘some people’ aren’t blaming Russia, Russia did it, it just doesn’t matter all that much, since moderns planes have plenty of redundancies, so GPS (US), GLONASS (Russia), Galileo (EU), BeiDou (China) etc. etc. being blocked doesn’t in fact impact the navigation of your basic plane all that much…
It’s still a shitty thing to do, but what have you…
>And some people are blaming Russia.
Because it’s Russia.
Its 10
This has been going on for months, we already know it originates from Kaliningrad. I don’t understand why MSM is only picking up on it now…
Jamming is an act of war….
If you’ve got the time, this video from FlightRadar24 shows you actually what happens when they fly near Ukraine and Russia. Starts about the 9:00 minute mark.

“Ohh shit, a Map! Does anyone know how to use this thing??? How do you make it update where you are???”
Russia sucks
Marjorie Taylor Greene takes offense to this opinion.
