Veritasium did a video recently that shows how they narrowed this down to the Russians. Not that anyone was at all surprised it was them. 🙄

there doesn't seem to be anything here

Y tho? What's in it for them? They're making it worse for everyone, including themselves, since everyone is using all of the systems they have receivers for simultaneously, and automatically. Every child knows that GNSS is the first thing to go when signal jamming in a warzone starts. So why are they doing this? It's not like they're achieving anything on the battlefield with that, as it is already gone. Your thoughts?

I just watched a video about this yesterday. At the start of the video I immediately thought "It's Russia".

This doesn't seem like a fantastic strategy for Russia, seeing as Russia's GNSS system is also probably subject to jamming.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EKS_(satellite_system)
In a report published in June 2026, researchers identified three satellites from the EKS constellation as a source of space-based GNSS interference, such as GNSS jamming. Beginning in 2019, the researchers tracked powerful wide-area interference from the satellites over Europe, Greenland, and Canada. Significant interference was detected with the US American GPS, European Galileo, and Chinese BeiDou satellite networks, but interference was minimal on Russia's own GLONASS network[27][28][29].
Any one of those parties might decide to reciprocate.
