Europe Grapples with Surge in Electronic Warfare Incidents

The European Union is strengthening its satellite defense infrastructure following a GPS-jamming incident involving the plane carrying EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Von der Leyen’s aircraft was forced to circle for an hour, relying on ground-based navigation during its approach to Plovdiv, Bulgaria, due to interference. Russian authorities have been blamed for this disruption, sparking concerns about escalating electronic warfare incidents across Europe.
