I’ve flown through there what seems dozens of times since the jamming and spoofing started. I hear some operators have been getting EGPWS terrain warnings, i.e. pull-ups, in the cruise and/or on approach to destination as the GPS altitude can stay messed up on some receivers even when the jamming has stopped.

The funniest one was last year when somewhere over northern Iraq all the reminders we’d put in the system went off at once. I thought the interference might have spoofed the time but it was the same as on the iPad. Hmm. Checked the date and it was several days in the future, very clever!
