Astrakhan at the Volga delta on the north Caspian sees intermittent GPS interference tied to regional military activity.
Check the live reading above and open the map. FLYAWAY reads GPS accuracy from the aircraft over Astrakhan and refreshes every few minutes.
When the reading is high, treat GPS near Astrakhan as unreliable: keep the drone in sight, be ready to fly manually, and do not rely on return-to-home. When it is severe, do not fly.
Astrakhan at the Volga delta on the north Caspian sees intermittent GPS interference tied to regional military activity.
Astrakhan stands in the Volga delta at the northern head of the Caspian, where the river spreads into channels before reaching the sea. It functions as both a river and sea port, and its navigation links run out into the Caspian basin over which aircraft increasingly report degraded GPS.
Aircraft crossing the Caspian have increasingly reported lost or spoofed GPS since 2023 amid regional military activity, a pattern documented in open flight-monitoring data. Astrakhan, at the top of that basin, sits within the affected region, so operators combining river and sea navigation should treat satellite reception here as potentially unreliable.
A Volga-delta port, Astrakhan is a fishing, shipbuilding and gas-processing centre where both river and sea navigation depend on GNSS. Vessels threading the shallow delta channels and heading out into the Caspian need dependable position data, so interference across the sea has practical consequences for local shipping and the industries it serves.
