GPS is vulnerable to various attacks.

It's unclear what the capabilities are, but there IS a Russian satellite that HAS jammed GPS for almost a whole hemisphere. It's operated several times for a couple seconds over these past few years.

Veritassium did a great presentation on how we know this.

I don't recommend Veritassium anymore. It's not the same channel it used to be. It was sold to a private equity group, and now makes garbage.

Here's an article: https://arstechnica.com/space/2026/06/tests-suggest-russian-satellites-can-jam-gps-on-a-continental-scale/
