“The Sun” journalists and researchers examined public flight records. The biggest bottlenecks were found in the Baltic Sea, Black Sea and Eastern Mediterranean.

Last month, the number of suspected satnav attacks was 350 per week. That's up from about 50 attacks a week last year.
In March, Russia jammed the GPS signal on a plane carrying British Defense Secretary Grant Shabbs to Poland.. According to British media, the plane was flying close to the Russian perimeter when the GPS signal was interrupted for about 30 minutes.
