Apologies for assuming the jet in the image was where the defense minster was… but the concern remains valid. Why is she flying over Kaliningrad, in a multi-person jet, while Russia is involved in an offensive war at the borders of NATO territory? Is this not just serving up defensive leadership to a hostile force?
Here is a video that covers the previous incident where basically the same thing happened to Ursula von der Leyen’s flight.
It’s from an aviation perspective but it clears up a lot of misconception. Basically … this (the GPS jamming) isn’t really that big of a deal.
Maybe. But I’m sure people have taken the security concerns into account. Maybe they just don’t think that Russia would dare or they trust their ECM kit. I’m not sure. But a lot of important people are flying around there and they all think it’s fine.
