Azerbaijani Defense Ministry reports GPS interference by Armenian armed detachments

According to the Ministry's statement, the interference took place on July 13 during the flight of an Azerbaijan Airlines Gulfstream G280 passenger aircraft. The aircraft experienced a degradation in its GPS satellite navigation system between 11:54 and 12:07 on the Zangilan-Fuzuli route, as well as between 13:02 and 13:17 on the Fuzuli-Baku route.

“We declare that the fact of the use of radio frequency interference by illegal Armenian armed detachments against the GPS satellite navigation systems of passenger aircraft has been recorded before. Despite our repeated appeals to the command of the Russian peacekeeping contingent about the serious threat that is posed to the safety of air transportation by such cases no measures have been taken,” the Ministry added.

The use of radio frequency interference by illegal Armenian armed detachments against GPS satellite navigation systems poses a significant concern for the aviation industry and the safety of air travel in the region. (ILKHA)
