Many of the patches are not surprising, but why is a small area between Germany and Sweden jammed?



If you click through some different days, it looks like that is just a patch of the larger overall jamming zone around Kaliningrad.


A small area between Estonia and Finland likewise.


Any chance the area being referenced in relation to Germany is near the headquarters of a company named aaronia? They manufacture, high-end spectrum rf analyzers, and high-end drone tracking and jamming/drone disabling equipment. (As a result, I would expect them to be testing, and or demonstrating their equipment near their headquarters.)

Just a guess/speculation as I’m familiar with aaronia’s products and services (indirectly)


If any civilian company jammed GPS enough to affect commercial aviation that would be a huge no-no - RF emissions in places like Germany are strictly controlled, even if you're just 'testing'
