An alarming phenomenon with GPS over Poland. The head of the Ministry of abroad Affairs interrupted his silence and pointed to Russia

In fresh days, there have been strong GPS interferences over northern Poland. The case raised serious concerns. On Tuesday, Minister of the Interior and Administration Tomasz Siemoniak responded to reports of signal problems.


The head of the Ministry of abroad Affairs was a guest of the program "Groffiti" on Polsat News. He stressed that the situation was serious and needed decisive action. "Because this is happening in tiny space – I am talking about the confederate Baltic – it affects others too, so this is absolutely unacceptable," he said.

He added: "However, looking at the Russian-Ukrainian War, or looking at the Israeli-Iran War, it is simply a GPS signal, tracking, navigation, that become critical elements of these conflicts, and of course we must draw conclusions from it and guarantee the safety of our systems."

It was asked if Moscow could be behind these actions, the minister replied that "there is no uncertainty that Russia was involved." Tomasz Siemoniak added that the service has been dealing with this problem for a long time. They cooperate with authorities liable for air navigation and safety of the Polish space.

The head of the Ministry of abroad Affairs besides pointed out that specified incidents happen "too often" and cannot be underestimated. He stressed that this problem concerns not only Poland but besides our allies.

Problems with GPS signal over half of Poland

The machines unexpectedly lose GPS signal and contact with operators, then fly off in unpredictable directions – often, if this happens on the coast, towards the Russian royal circuit.
