Sweden says

Sweden has accused Russia of significant cases where the GPS signal was recorded over the Baltic Sea, causing anxiety in the region.

The Swedish Transport Agency (STA) has stated that over the past few years, reports have grown, but have now become a virtually daily phenomenon. So far, in 2025, 733 incidents were recorded, compared to 55 throughout 2023.

The agency said the source of the intervention was leaked to the Russian territory and also touched on delivery. Other European countries have accused Russia of remaining for the silence that Moscow denies.

The STA report comes a few days after the plane carried by Ursul von der Leyen was affected by obstacles.

It is reported that the Presidential Pilots of the European Commission had to land with paper cards, but they did it safely.

Andreas Holmgren, the head of the STA aviation, warned that the issue was “serious” and presented “the risk of civil aviation”.

As well as seeing a massive increase in messages, he said that bending cases spread both “geographically and on scale”, passing from the initially restriction of the eastern part of the Swedish air space over international waters to the Swedish land and waters.

Over the past few years, the airlines operating in the Baltic region have reported tens of thousands of GPS incidents. The Baltic States are recorded by the Russian territory.

In June, Sweden and five other countries in the region – Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland – arose with the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), with which Russia is a member state.

The ICAO Council expressed “great concern about the situation and demands that Russia fulfill its international commitments and ensure that the violations are stopped immediately.”

Despite this, the interruptions in the Baltic Sea region “increased” instead, he added.

European governments and experts regularly blame Russia, saying that such practices are in line with the Kremlin’s alleged strategies to sow disorder and undermine European security.

Moscow regularly denies allegations or attacks on commercial aviation. Russia has not yet been established between Russia and the GPS growth has been established.

Von der Leena’s plane headed to Bulgaria on Sunday when his onboard telemetry was broken by the fact that the press secretary called “the brazen intervention of Russia.”

The European Commission stated that the incident only strengthened its commitment to “increasing our defense opportunities and support for Ukraine”.

Press -Secretary of the Kremlin Dmitry Peskov said Financial Timeswho reported the suspected silence that her information was “wrong”.

Bulgaria’s aviation power said that since the beginning of a full -scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, there was a “noticeable increase” of GPS incidents.

While aircraft can count on other forms of navigation than GPS, its midnight can increase the risk of collisions – either with other planes, or forcing the pilot to fly into the ground, water, or other obstacles.

But the UK civil aviation body lowered the value of the GPS -Jem, says the navigation systems of the aircraft are not only based on GPS, and therefore the intervention should not affect their direct navigation.

This adds that the intervention occurs primarily near the conflict zones as a by -product of military activity, not necessarily a deliberate act.

The figures of the STA for 2025 are covered by August 28. While they include both the Swedish and non-Swedish airlines, the agency warns that they are considered to be significant underestimations of the number of registered incidents, as airlines often report incidents in the aviation body of their own country.
