Iran's GPS Spoofing: Pilots Misled, Flights Risk Entering Enemy Territory

• Iran is reportedly using "GPS Spoofing" to mislead aircraft over the UAE and Persian Gulf, creating an "invisible war" in the Middle East.
• GPS Spoofing sends fake signals, making pilots believe they are on course while actually being directed towards enemy territory, unlike jamming where signals disappear.
• Iran's indigenous Cobra V8 electronic warfare system, designed for missiles and drones, is suspected of causing these disruptions up to 250 km.
• Since March 1st, over 1,000 ships and hundreds of flights have reported fake signals, with navigation systems showing planes inside Iranian territory.
• Pilots are now being trained to use traditional radio beacons, physical maps, and ground signals to counter this digital deception, as anti-spoofing software is still developing.
