A Royal Air Force aircraft carrying UK Defence Secretary John Healey has experienced signal jamming near the Russian border, according to a report published by The Times.
Sunday’s report said that satellite signals on Healey’s government aircraft were disrupted on Thursday while he was returning to the United Kingdom following a visit to southeastern Estonia.
The interference reportedly disabled the aircraft’s GPS system throughout the three-hour flight.
According to the report, the disruption also affected laptops and smartphones on board, forcing pilots to rely on alternative inertial navigation systems to determine the aircraft’s position.
