Milan, 1 September (LaPresse) – During the large-scale “Quadriga” exercise, Bundeswehr Inspector General Carsten Breuer told journalists that his aircraft had been targeted twice by GPS interference while flying over the Baltic Sea region, as had happened to EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. ‘I experienced this myself,’ he said, ‘I was travelling on a military aircraft that was subject to interference. It's not pleasant. Pilots normally have ways of getting around the problem and are confident in their procedures.’ ‘But beyond this specific case,’ Breuer added, "we are facing cases of sabotage and espionage. We are also subject to hybrid influence actions that can be traced back to the state carrying them out, very often Russia." According to German media, the first incident occurred while Breuer's plane was flying over the Baltic Sea, travelling north, while the second incident occurred during a visit to a military exercise in Lithuania, Iran Wolf.
