At least 160 planes flying near Russia’s borders experienced “spoofing” of onboard GPS systems on the same day that Defence Secretary John Healey’s flight was disrupted.
Three of those were planes that flew into or out of UK airports in London and Manchester, analysis of publicly available flight-tracking data shows.
Security experts warn that UK commercial flights are increasingly at risk of Russian signal jamming and spoofing which could prevent aircrafts transmitting locations while flying across Europe and Asia this summer.
