I’d call that an act of war.

[driftdiver]

Thats probably something which should have been kept secret.

[Jonty30]

I’m just wondering if China finds value in North Korea, because they can try out strategy on real Western targets without repercussion.

[allmost]

?

[blueunicorn6]

Their people are eating grass and bark, but they have the technology to mess with GPS. Ummm, socialist priorities.

[coloradan]

Too bad the crippled plane didn’t accidentally release any missiles that were accidentally aimed at the jamming signal’s origin, in all the confusion.

[Portcall24]

OK A-holes let’s see if you can do the same with an in-bound ICBM!

[HangnJudge]

Do not navigators learn to navigate without GPS?

I assume the plane was not so much forced down
as it chose to return to a known safe point
by non-GPS techniques

Misleading Headline?

[Sooth2222]

“Emergency landing”? If we’re actually basing our WW3/4 strategy on the assumption that the worldwide GPS satellite system will be up and running, there is a huge problem. (Unless it was because they couldn’t tell where the DMZ was to the nearest centimeter.)

[Future Useless Eater]

Sounds like a flaw to have planes that CAN’T FLY without a GPS signal.

Perhaps they are not telling the full story. More likely an EMP burst? Still, our warplanes navigation systems have no business being non-rad-hard

Don’t forget NK has a long history of selling their military technology. It probably originated in China but is almost certainly in Iran by now.

[laweeks]

Let's see now . . . our illegal alien imposter Commander-in-Chief will probably get so mad that he'll get off his girly bike, take the bedpan off his head, roll his sleeve up to his elbow protecting pads, and shake his fist at them.

That'll scare them.

[Lazamataz]

Who says this is even necessarily true? Disinformation works.

[NonValueAdded]

we don’t have jam-proof GPS??? Nonsense.

[Slambat]

Easy fix. Program missiles to track signal source and say
it was their fault for trying to disrupt our missile
tracking system.

[AU72]

The fact that this event was announced by the military means that we’re making a deal out of it. Whether it will be a big deal remains to be seen.

[Grampa Dave]

fyi

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Drudge has it up now.

[Bedford Forrest]

The report doesn’t parse. ‘Emergency’ landing means what it says - a landing required to avoid substantial hazard to or loss of the aircraft. IMHO, EMP attack is one of the major hazards to the safe operation of any fly-by-wire flight control system. Another major hazard to the safe operation of a fly-by-wire flight control system is that it was designed and built by Airbus Industries, but we hope and assume that was not the case here.
