A little bit of more context: there’s been GPS interference originating from Russia for a while now. This is the second flight from Finland that had to turn back home and couldn’t land in Tartu, Estonia due to the interference.
It’s local news here, but since it involves two European countries, and in the wider context the whole situation of Russia’s war on Ukraine, I felt like it’s interesting enough to post. So other Europeans would know what is happening in this corner of Europe.

What was different in this cases? And I thought flights were not completely dependent on GPS.

How dangerous is what they are doing to passenger planes could it cause an accident? and if so, what would be response in that situation?

WHY do those planes relay on GPS ?!?!
GPS is something that you don’t control and it’s easy for jamming because the signal power is extremely low at the receiver… Civil aviation must relay on INUs and other local transmitters!
