A Spanish Defense Ministry aircraft experienced "navigational problems" near Kaliningrad.

The plane carrying Spanish Defense Minister Margarita Robles experienced GPS navigation system failures while flying over the Kaliningrad region. The incident occurred while the official delegation was en route from Madrid to Lithuania for scheduled meetings with their Lithuanian counterparts, according to Western media reports.

The authors of the article note that today's "navigation problems" are not the first instance of GPS navigation disruption in this region. Earlier, in late August, a similar situation occurred with an aircraft carrying European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

The crew then had to wait a long time for landing clearance, after which the pilots made a manual approach to the runway, allegedly using paper maps. However, this latter claim was later refuted.

It is reported that in the current incident, the plane carrying the Spanish minister continued its flight safely and landed in Lithuania. Margarita Robles has already met with her Lithuanian counterpart, Dovilė Šakalienė, during which they visited the Šiauliai airbase.

There have been no official comments yet regarding the causes of the repeated GPS outages in the skies over the Baltic region. However, even Western experts have previously called this situation "the costs of armed conflict" to which we must adapt. After all, both sides are actively using EW, protecting your sky from shock drones.

And who cares... it's not our problem.
They position themselves as the enemy, and that's what they get in return...
Although, to understand how much lies there are... well, it doesn’t matter, they’ll deceive themselves in the end!

Where is Spain, and where is Lithuania, which is indicated on the map by a number, and what are the Spaniards doing in Lithuania, it is also "as naked as a falcon", what can you expect from them?

[Grossvater]

manually, supposedly using paper maps as a guide.

Aha! A pack of Belomor cigarettes. !
Actually, my first thought upon reading the title: What was that Spanish airplane doing near Kaliningrad?

❝ Near the plane Ministry of Defense of Spain emerged navigation problems near Kaliningrad ❞ —

- To avoid "navigation problems" fly near Gibraltar...

[Tooks]

Near Kaliningrad it was necessary to fly using GLONASS.

[Dedok]

Margarita Robles has already met with her Lithuanian counterpart, Dovilė Šakalienė, during which they visited the airbase in Šiauliai.

And did the Spanish Ministry of Defense plane land at a civilian airfield? - and not at a military one, in the same Šiauliai?

[Soldatov V.]

Let him fly through Poland or Finland, through backwaters, and not along the Kaliningrad border. We should have also scrambled fighter jets to greet the Minister of Defense.

There were flights in the Kaliningrad region yesterday. Su-27s and MiG-31s ​​flew over both the region and the sea. And it couldn't be any other way here. The Kaliningrad region is three times smaller than Estonia.

It seems like a small thing, but it’s nice))

Yeah? Definitely shoot it down, just like they demand in their EU. At least pour kerosene on the windshield and into the engines, and then it will fall down on its own.

[Amateur]

There is no need to fly over Kaliningrad!

[SEVERIN]

It's a pity that it's not with these:


Although these are good too

[Arkady007]

Where is the guarantee that the plane carrying Spanish Defense Minister Margarita Robles was not performing reconnaissance missions during its flight over Kaliningrad?

[Carlos Hall]

It says here that Margarita tried to jump with a parachute...

Why was an enemy plane flying over Russian territory? Why wasn't it shot down?
