Putin's henchmen jam GPS of civilian aircraft. The GPS-jammer affecting aircrafts around Estonia is located in Russia, about halfway to St Petersburg from Narva, Estonia.

This can be shown by plotting the highest density of intersecting radio horizons of jammed aircrafts on a map.

GPS-jammer operating around Estonia and recently famous for causing the brand new Helsinki - Tartu flight line to cease operating.
Putin will bring down another jet. This monster must be detained.

Allies across Europe and Asia should not look indifferently at Putin's Russian criminals jamming of the signal and thereby endangering international air traffic.

RUSSIAN JAMMING & Spoofing Is Threatening Civil Aviation.

A surge in spoofing is intentionally throwing onboard navigation systems off.

Report of instances of onboard navigation systems being overtaken by fake GPS signals, sometimes showing them to be hundreds of miles off course. This resulted in a “complete loss of navigational capability,” which in some instances forced crews to rely on verbal directions from air traffic controllers, according to OpsGroup, a membership organization for pilots and flight dispatchers. Aircraft of all sizes have been affected, including small business jets and large Boeing 777s.

YOUR PLANE CRASHES because of Putin's terrorist Army.

In spoofing incidents, false signals are broadcast that cause an aircraft’s electronic equipment to calculate incorrect positions and provide erroneous guidance—essentially tricking the aircraft’s GPS receiver into thinking it is somewhere it is not.

What a missed opportunity: The #ICAO code for the Venice Lido #airport is LIPV, not LIDO.

Is there any airport for which the four-letter ICAO code, or even the three-letter #IATA code, would match a name for the location?

And the winner is:

#Niue International Airport, #ICAO code: NIUE.

Found using the list from https://datahub.io/core/airport-codes and this Perl code:

#!/usr/bin/env perl -an -F,

use strict;

my $icao = $F[0];

next unless $icao =~ m/[A-Z][A-Z][A-Z][A-Z]/;

foreach my $name(split(/ /,$F[2].' '.$F[7])) {
if (uc($icao) eq uc($name)) {
print $icao, ' ', $F[2], ' ', $F[7], "\n";
}
}

Ignoring two matches with bogus data: BOBS and SWYX.

IATA check left as an exercise to readers.
