In recent weeks, pilots of various airlines have been dealing with a phenomenon that has returned after three years: Severe GPS disruptions on planes as they prepare to land at Ben Gurion Airport, Arutz Sheva reports.
According to a report on Monday by Kan 11 News, the Russian army’s activity at the Khmeimim Air Base in the Syrian port city of Latakia includes the operation of advanced and powerful defense systems, which disrupt the electromagnetic waves in the eastern Mediterranean. This also disrupts the landing of aircraft in Israel.
Israel turned to the Russians and asked them to stop using the system due to the damage it causes. The Russians refused the request and replied that the systems were intended to protect their soldiers, the report said.
