BREAKING: Flightpath of the US KC-135R Stratotanker before signal loss over the Strait of Hormuz, with the aircraft descending while squawking general emergency and heading toward Qatar. Currently unclear if it crashed or landed. Powerful regional-level AIS/GPS jamming and spoofing has also been seen over the Strait of Hormuz in the past hour.

Another night, another long arc east… London Heathrow Airport to Hong Kong 🇭🇰, the Airbus A350 settling into cruise while the world slides quietly beneath us. Lately there’s been plenty of noise about GPS jamming and spoofing, so here’s the calm, practical version from the flight deck. Jamming is simply interference, other electronic noise overwhelming the GPS signal so a receiver can’t hear it properly. Spoofing is more mischievous, that’s nefarious actors broadcasting a false signal that tries to convince the receiver it’s somewhere it isn’t. Both can be inconvenient. Neither is new. And neither is a show-stopper for modern aviation. Airliners were navigating oceans long before satellites were part of the picture, using inertial reference systems, radio navigation aids, dead reckoning, time, distance, and a healthy respect for cross-checks. Today’s aircraft layer all of that together. If one element like the GPS becomes unreliable, the system doesn’t panic, it recognises it swiftly, dumps it, and reverts to one of the other systems. Crews verify, cross-reference, and carry on. That’s the quiet strength of modern aviation and aircraft, redundancy and judgement. No single sensor gets a veto. No single failure defines the outcome. The airplane doesn’t need GPS to fly safely; it uses it when it’s trustworthy and ignores it when it isn’t. From the cabin, the night looks serene. From the flight deck, it’s deliberate, systems monitored, assumptions questioned, margins protected. Just as it’s always been. If you’d like to learn more about GPS jamming and spoofing, and the tragic event that released this military system for civilian aviation, you can preorder my book JUMBO on Amazon or at any good bookstore. Hong Kong by morning. Same principles. New technology. Calm continuity. #A350 #PilotLife #AviationSafety #AvGeek #FlightDeckView #LongHaul #Navigation #GPS #ModernAviation #AirlineLife #AboveTheClouds #SystemsThinking #GlobalAviation #JUMBO #JUMBObook

🚨 A SATELLITE JUST REVEALED SOMETHING SHOCKING: GPS JAMMING IS FAR MORE WIDESPREAD THAN ANYONE REALIZED. An experimental navigation satellite called Pulsar-0, flying just 500 km above Earth, has mapped GPS signal tampering from space for the first time and the scale surprised even the engineers who built it. As soon as the satellite passed over Europe and parts of the Middle East, its GPS receiver showed massive signal degradation. In the worst areas, signal strength dropped from a normal 40 decibels all the way down to just 10 decibels. Why this matters: • Ground-based jammers (used in conflicts like Ukraine and the Middle East) are now reaching all the way into low Earth orbit • Satellites like Starlink that rely on GPS for collision avoidance and positioning are being affected across a huge region from France to the borders of Pakistan • When GPS drops out, satellites can’t accurately point their antennas, maintain formation, or safely maneuver • This isn’t just a military problem it threatens the growing network of commercial satellites we increasingly depend on The deeper implication: We’ve long known that GPS signals on the ground can be jammed. What we didn’t fully appreciate is how far those jamming signals reach into space. Even satellites in low Earth orbit the backbone of global communications, Earth observation, and future mega-constellations are now operating in an increasingly hostile electromagnetic environment. Xona’s upcoming constellation aims to fix this with signals 100 times stronger than traditional GPS. But the bigger question remains: as more nations and groups weaponize jamming and spoofing, how resilient will our orbital infrastructure actually be? How concerned are you that GPS jamming is now reaching into space and affecting satellites? Follow for more frontier space technology and the hidden vulnerabilities of our orbital systems.

Continued significant interest in US military flights over the past few days, nearly all of our most tracked flights this week have been been US Air Force aircraft. Why do they disappear from the map over the ocean? It’s the type of transponder they’re using. You can learn more about how we track flights without ADS-B at

🇪🇺🇷🇺 The Financial Times reports that Russia may have disabled the GPS systems on the plane carrying European Commission head Ursula von der Leyen, preventing her from landing in Bulgaria. The pilot circled over Plovdiv airport for nearly an hour before being forced to land manually with the help of analog maps. According to FT, GPS was cut across the airport’s entire zone due to interference, which was “assessed as Russian involvement.” EU governments have warned that the growing disruption of GPS could cause a major aviation disaster by effectively blinding civilian aircraft during flight. 🐻 How is Reich Gauleiter von der Leyen going to spin this one? She was the one claiming Russians rip microchips out of dishwashers and refrigerators to build weapons — and now she will say that those very “dishwashers” knocked out her plane’s GPS?

‼️🇷🇺💥🇬🇧British Royal Navy frigate detected strong GPS jamming while shadowing the Russian oceanographic research vessel Yantar north of Scotland last week. The MoD confirms the jamming originated from the Russian ship, known for its deep-submergence and intelligence-gathering capabilities. HMS Northumberland maintained full operational capability and continued escorting Yantar out of UK-adjacent waters. The incident is being treated as deliberate electronic interference in international waters close to British interests. No official protest has been announced yet, but sources say London is reviewing options with NATO partners. Russia’s embassy in London has not commented. Video is just for illustration purpose.

The International Economic Forum is taking place in Russian St Petersburg today. The Taliban delegation has arrived. They are now welcome partners in Russia. Locals report that Internet has been down since last night in St Petersburg. Plane pilots complained that due to GPS jamming, they have been receiving false alerts about possible aircraft collisions. They say that when the alerts go off, the pilot must descend or ascend sharply, but often there are actually no other planes nearby. Some pilots started ignoring the alert system now which can lead to accidents later on.

I am in the West Bank, Palestine, right now. But google maps is telling me that I’m at Cairo airport. Why? GPS jamming by Israel to counter dozens of Iranian drones sent in retaliation for Israel’s bombing of the Iranian embassy in Syria. Meanwhile, Israeli settlers have shut down almost all exits to our city and are burning homes in neighboring villages. Hard to describe what this feels like… and what preparing for the worst requires. What is certain is that if Palestinians were given freedom instead of 75 years of dispossession and oppression, it’s likely none of this would be happening right now.

🚨🇨🇳 U.S. PACIFIC NIGHTMARE: CHINA UNVEILS GPS-FREE NUCLEAR SUB NAVIGATION China is on the verge of flipping undersea warfare. Researchers at Xinjiang Institute of Physics and Chemistry just cracked a thorium-229 nuclear clock that lets nuclear submarines navigate indefinitely without surfacing for GPS or satellite fixes. 🔸 This technology eliminates the need for submarines to periodically surface or raise masts for satellite updates, removing their most vulnerable detection window. 🔸 Taiwan flashpoint impact: Jin-class SSBNs and future Type 096 ballistic missile submarines can now conduct extended hidden patrols in the South China Sea and western Pacific while retaining guaranteed nuclear counterstrike capability. 🔸 Hunter-killer advantage: Type 093 nuclear attack subs gain far greater operational freedom to target US carrier strike groups and allied maritime supply lines. 🔸 Precision strike boost: Significantly improves accuracy of China’s sea-launched cruise and hypersonic missiles even in total GPS-denied environments. Do you think the U.S. can catch up with Chinese navigation tools?

Ya get hooked at age 12 like this and next thing you know you’re 30 years in and wondering why you’re perpetually cash poor but oh so happy. 😂 First solo field for boy and “no, you don’t get to use the gps”- he’s gonna get sick of hearing about his USN great uncle who sourced his straight driving from setting down Grumman S-2’s on a carrier deck.

During negotiations with the BMA, the Government actually scaled things back at the last minute. They reduced the investment on offer, then spread it over three years. They then removed 1,000 extra specialist training posts - that’s 1,000 fewer future potential GPs and consultants for the NHS and for the public. Wes Streeting needs to stop shifting the goalposts and put forward a credible offer on both jobs and pay, to end the resident doctors strikes.

Driven by a UK Government push to open up transport data and boost public transport use nationwide, Google Maps has officially integrated live public transport tracking. By mandating that operators share their live GPS data, tech apps can now let you literally watch your specific bus moving along the map in real-time. As seen in the screenshot above, you can tap on your route (like the 207 towards White City) and see exactly where the bus is on the road, how many minutes away it is, and when the data was last updated. No more relying on broken countdown boards. No more running for a “ghost bus” that never actually shows up. No more standing in the rain guessing if you have time to grab a coffee. Have you noticed this government-backed feature on your phone yet? And more importantly... which West London bus route is the most unreliable and needs this the most? Let us know below #UB1UB2 #London #Southall #Hayes #Ealing
