Valtiovarainministeriössä selvitellään parhaillaan vaihtoehtoja, koska nykytilanteessa sotadroonien vahingoista ei saisi korvausta välttämättä mistään.

Juttu tiivistettynä

Suomeen harhautuneiden droonien mahdollisesti aiheuttamille vahingoille ei ole vielä korvaajaa.
Vakuutusyhtiöt eivät korvaa sotaoperaatioista aiheutuvia vahinkoja. Valtio ei myöskään korvaa, koska sopivia säädöksiä ei ole.
Ratkaisua selvitetään valtiovarainministeriössä. Jatkossa valtio korvaisi vahingot mahdollisesti lisätalousarvion tai sähköisen korvausväylän kautta.

Some scientists are blaming a Russian network for the GPS blackouts

Experts have revealed a terrifying domino effect that could take place if GPS suddenly stopped working around the world.

This comes after new research has uncovered a worrying source of GPS disruption that experts say could highlight just how vulnerable the modern world is.

While GPS outages are usually associated with military activity, scientists have now identified a series of unusual interference events that appear to have originated from space, raising fresh concerns about the security of critical infrastructure.

The paper ‘analyzes and identifies a space-based Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) interference source that has caused scores of powerful transient wide-area interference events’ detected simultaneously across vast areas including Europe, Greenland and parts of Canada since 2019.

The disruptions were typically short-lived, lasting between three and five seconds, but the sheer geographical scale of the events caught researchers’ attention.

Scientists concluded that the disturbances could not have been caused by a single ground-based transmitter or aircraft but instead point to a source located in space.

The researchers noted that most of the disruptions happened during weekdays and standard business hours, a pattern they say suggests human involvement rather than a naturally occurring phenomenon.

According to a report by Sky News, some experts believe that a Russian satellite network was identified as responsible for the disruptions, although the intent behind them is not clear. Russia has also previously denied carrying out GPS jamming activities.

The paper went on to conclude: “Further analysis pointed to the Russian Edinaya Kosmicheskaya Sistema, an early warning constellation to which Cosmos 2546 belongs, as collectively responsible for the wide-area transient interference causing GNSS degradation across Europe since 2019.”

What could happen if GPS stopped working worldwide?
Experts are warning that a widespread loss of GPS could trigger a domino effect across multiple industries.

Aircraft and ships would lose a key source of positioning data, mobile phone networks could experience timing issues, and banking systems could face disruptions.

Meanwhile, Power networks, which depend on timing signals from GPS, could struggle to maintain stable operations.

While backup systems do exist for many sectors, specialists are sounding the alarm that society is becoming more and more reliant on satellite navigation tech, which causes more issues when things go wrong.

Something is disrupting GPS signals across Europe.
