Lithuania sees some of the highest degraded-GPS rates in Europe, driven by jamming from neighbouring Kaliningrad and Belarus.
Check the live reading above and open the map. FLYAWAY reads GPS accuracy from the aircraft over Vilnius and refreshes every few minutes.
When the reading is high, treat GPS near Vilnius 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.
Lithuania sees some of the highest degraded-GPS rates in Europe, driven by jamming from neighbouring Kaliningrad and Belarus.
Vilnius sits in south-eastern Lithuania, only a short distance from the Belarus border and within the wider Kaliningrad-Belarus interference zone. The city lies roughly 310 km from Kaliningrad, the Russian Baltic exclave most often named as the source of regional jamming, leaving its airspace and approaches exposed to the same disruption reported across the eastern Baltic.
Widespread GPS interference over the Baltic has been publicly reported since 2022 and escalated through 2023 and 2024, with aviation authorities across the Baltic states, Poland, Finland and Sweden all flagging it. Kaliningrad is the most frequently cited source. Vilnius falls within this affected region, where degraded satellite positioning has become a recurring concern for pilots and operators.
As Lithuania's capital and financial centre, Vilnius runs an international airport and hosts fast-growing drone and fintech sectors, all of which lean on satellite positioning. When signals are degraded, aircraft approaches, precision surveying and any drone operation reliant on GNSS can be affected, so local pilots and businesses have practical reasons to watch interference conditions closely.
