Russia has been accused of disrupting the GPS signal of the International Space Station while the UK Defense Secretary Grant Shapps was onboard a plane returning from Poland to Britain. This information was revealed by British government sources and journalists who were with Shapps at the time.

The GPS signal inside the plane was reportedly jammed for approximately 30 minutes while flying over Russia’s Kaliningrad region. This caused a loss of internet connectivity on their mobile phones, forcing them to find alternative methods to determine their location.

The UK Defense Secretary’s office has chosen not to comment on the incident.

An expert on security issues at The Times commented that British aviation has algorithms in place to handle jamming operations but pointed out the potential risks they pose to public aerospace, endangering lives.
