At least 20 airline and corporate jets overflying Iran were targeted with fake GPS signals over the fortnight. These signals were sent from the ground and were strong enough to infiltrate the aircraft’s navigation system, override the true satellite GPS signals and steer the aircraft off their course. Navigation system failure was so complete that pilots had to seek guidance from ATC to know aircraft location.
