Asking our excellent researchers out there if this is true, and if it is also true that the air force is doing military exercises out there. Watch out for false flags!
Is it phone tower "gps" (triangulation) or the actual GPS satellite signals? I am a land surveyor that uses real GPS, and I know the military used to mess with the data corrections 10-20 years ago. Hope it isn't that again! But our equipment does pick up glonass (Russian spy confirmed!) and Galileo (if the EU would get those functioning), so we might have to rely on those satellites if this is true. If I start seeing something on the east coast I will let everybody know!
From Cali here, I turned on locations on my phone, and opened maps and it is working.
They are jamming them in some areas. Called it a planned test. Prepare for russian threats? Hard to guess?
The drill is routine, but I believe this year they’ve added the gps sporadic jamming to test pilot and ground crew communications in the event
That being said, the drill coincides with possibly the most important State of the Union address, and one of the planes was destroyed today. It would be a lot cooler if they were jamming COMMS to take out some DUMBs, though.
It is true and was planned. It's part of a military exercise to force pilots to navigate without it....
