The Suwałki Gap between Kaliningrad and Belarus is one of Europe's most heavily jammed corridors, watched closely by NATO.
The Suwałki Gap is the roughly 65 km stretch of the Poland–Lithuania border separating Kaliningrad from Belarus. It is the only land link between the Baltic states and the rest of NATO, which makes it one of the most strategically sensitive corridors in Europe — and one of the most heavily jammed.
GPS interference here is persistent and often severe, squeezed between electronic-warfare activity from Kaliningrad to the west and Belarus to the east. For drone pilots it means treating GPS as unreliable by default and always flying with a manual backup.
Check the live reading above and open the map. FLYAWAY reads GPS accuracy from the aircraft over Suwałki and refreshes every few minutes.
When the reading is high, treat GPS near Suwałki 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.
The Suwałki Gap between Kaliningrad and Belarus is one of Europe's most heavily jammed corridors, watched closely by NATO.
Suwałki lies in Poland's far north-east at the Suwałki Gap, the slim stretch of land separating Kaliningrad from Belarus and linking the Baltic states to the rest of NATO. It sits roughly 170 km from Kaliningrad, the interference source named most often, within a closely watched border zone where military and civilian users alike track navigation conditions with care.
Since 2022 the Baltic region has seen widely reported GPS interference, intensifying across 2023 and 2024, with authorities in Poland and neighbouring countries flagging the disruption and Kaliningrad most frequently cited as its origin. Set at the strategically sensitive Suwałki Gap, this border area lies close to that source and within the corridor those regional warnings have consistently covered.
Suwałki is an agricultural and cross-border transit town at a narrow, strategically important land corridor kept under close military watch. Its economy runs on farming, road freight and the traffic moving between Poland and the Baltic states. GNSS supports surveying, fleet routing and precision agriculture, so interference in this sensitive border zone can disrupt everyday logistics and the timing systems local operations depend on.
