Jet carrying UK defense chief had GPS jammed near Russian border

A Royal Air Force transport jet carrying UK Defence Secretary John Healey had its GPS and internet signals jammed for three hours near the Russian border during a flight back from Estonia, forcing pilots to switch to alternative navigation systems. The incident — combined with last month's Su-35 intercept of an RAF Rivet Joint at six metres — signals an escalating Russian electronic warfare and airspace pressure campaign against NATO military assets in the Baltic-Black Sea corridor.
