    Fake from AP

    Russia is suspected of jamming navigation on EU leader’s plane above Bulgaria, official says


    Another fake from The Independent:


    Russia accused of jamming radar on plane carrying EU chief Ursula von der Leyen


    An even bigger fake from The Telegraph:


    Ursula von der Leyen’s plane forced to land blind after ‘Russia jams GPS’


    And now, ladies and gentlemen, THE TRUTH FROM FLIGHTRADAR:


    We are seeing media reports of GPS interference affecting the plane carrying Ursula von der Leyen to Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Some reports claim that the aircraft was in a holding pattern for 1 hour.


    This is what we can deduce from our data.


    * The flight was scheduled to take 1 hour and 48 minutes. It took 1 hour and 57 minutes.

    * The aircraft’s transponder reported good GPS signal quality from take-off to landing.


    But who cares about the truth when the fakes are so juicy!
