Jamming of GPS in military setting. Putler already tried it over EU countries last year if I remember correct, causing logistics problem. Xitler can totally do it on the countries he is actively trying to invade in a whim.

Aviation allows different levels of Required Navigation Performance (RNP) based on where you are in the world, and what you are doing. 1NM is acceptable in most terminal areas until you can lock onto a ground based Navigation Aid and improve your accuracy for an approach and landing. The lowest RNP I have seen is 0.11 which gets you down to about…
