Russian Jamming Affects Commercial Aircraft

It seems the Russians are trying to interfere with the NATO exercises going on in east Norwegian Arctic airspaces, but true to form for them, they are jamming commercial aircraft at the same time.  They jam everything and let the civilians work things out for themselves. 

This is a good lesson to pilots that all that training they got on navigation included navigating without a GPS, just in case the equipment on the aircraft failed (This happened to my nephew once and he was the only one on the crew who remembered how to do it).  Without practice, you lose the skill.  The Norwegians who live close to Russia every day, still know how to avoid this kind of jamming.
