The defense systems operated by the Russian army in the area of ​​the city of Latakia in northwestern Syria, cause electromagnetic disturbances in Israel as well, which creates a disturbance to planes that are supposed to land at Ben Gurion Airport, Belmontel revealed here tonight with me here.

In Israel, they protested to the Russians about the danger that could be posed to civil aviation, but the Russians ignore and claim that the systems are designed to protect their soldiers. According to the report here 11, in Israel arrays that Russia is trying to show who is the “landlord” in Syria, against the background of the attacks attributed to Israel in the region, including the one that took place in the morning.

A pilot at one of the airlines in Israel told News here: “These events hit us quite hard in early 2019, so it more or less worked out one way or another. In the last three or four weeks we are starting to re-experience it in the Ben Gurion Airport area. There are speculations that this is “In the kind of action of the Russians, who are trying to block the possibility of harming them by disrupting GPS systems.”

“There are actually two types of disruption of GPS readings,” a pilot explained here 11. “Jamming is that it actually blocks the signal. The second type of disruption is called ‘popping’, which means that someone is transmitting a signal that disrupts the GPS position. In this situation “You can get all kinds of alerts. There have been cases where the plane’s systems detected for a second or two that the plane was somewhere else, and the pilot had to perform a maneuver.”

The airlines instructed the pilots to deal with the new phenomenon and turn off devices in the cockpit in the event of disruptions, but an official update has not yet been published by the State of Israel.
