Russia jammed our GPS! (Arctic Norway Flying Adventure)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 мар 2024
- Join us for day 2 of our majestic Widerøe Dash 8 flying adventure in some of the most remote parts of Norway, all in the jumpseat. Today we've got four segments traveling Kirkenes-Vadsø-Tromsø-Andenes-Evenes all on the Dash 8-100. Things get interesting when we see the effects of Russia's GPS jamming efforts in the area firsthand, and the pilots talk us through what that means exactly (and how they stay on course regardless). Then stick around for some of the most beautiful Arctic mountain island views, all covered in snow with a blue-green sea surrounding. Just some of the most stunning vistas we've ever come across. Thanks to Widerøe for the help putting together this series. Don't miss the other two videos we shot with them below:

that is one of the coolest video series you made to date. amazing landscapes
Thanks Gab just love chilling out on a Saturday morning watching your adventures, keep up the excellent work you do.
Great scenery ,love the dash 8. Look forward to more like this series.
I love this channel. Your videos are informative and relaxing to watch. Thank you.
Stunning, Gabriel, as always. Thank you.
You introduced me to Greenland, now northern Norway. The scenery is breathtaking. Great shots with just a single camera, it's like being there in the cockpit with those great pilots. Just stunning!
Great views of Norway while on air. That's great! Thank you so much!
Would love to see more of what's on the ground, terminal, local things. Thanks Gab!
You’re a very luck man, fantastic filmography, I’ve flown Canada’s Arctic but this was a great contrast with open ocean. Keep up the fantastic work
thanks for the ride. have had many trips on these routes, both in bad and good weather. Greetings from Kirkenes.
I think back in the day they used to call it "puddle Jumping." It was a neat series. We tend to get jaded with the long flights, but many people depend on these short flights. Keeping the Dash's flying is a lifeline for the people living in these areas. Great Job Gaberial!
Thanks Gabriel. This is the first episode of this series I've seen, but the sense of grandeur, along with the friendliness of the people of Norway are clearly evident in this final part.
Thank you!
Thank you very much for sharing your Wideröe Adventure in the Arctic North of Norway with us!😃👍 It was great to see this epic Scenery and very interesting how important Wideröe with its Dash 8 is for that Region. Really a great Story worth to watch all Episodes!🧡
Enjoyed this one as no chance I would see the area. Also you can't beat a good prop job Gabriel
Thanks for these videos! Do more Widerøe in summer! Do the coast hops from Trondheim to Bodø and then go from there to the small lofoten airfields (including Røst)!
What a lovely little trip. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Beautiful flights!
Thank you! Apart from the footage being stunning and the good music, I think the proportions in these video's are amazing, not too much talking, little bit of music etc.
So interesting to finally see a Widerøe flying over Senja. I've grown up with Widerøe flying over my homeplace on Skaland, Senja. And I must say that the view of Senja never gets tiring :D
Awesome videos!
One more! I'm Norwegian and I've been to many places in Norway, but there are still many places in Norway that I haven't been to yet, or haven't seen for quite some time. Great footage. Thank you!
Tanks for interesting video. Home for me since I livet Finnmark and Tromsø for mange years. 😊
Thanks for these Norway trips. fab views. Finland next??
FO with a greaser at 10:41, beautiful landing with a touch of power. Great flying from both pilots and awesome footage!
Thanks a lot!
Great video. What a scenery there. But in the wintertime it it is dark there, almost all day. That makes flying there even more challenging!
Another great video, thankyou. Yes stunning scenery, and with the best people on Earth as company. Pilots There may be a grumpy one somewhere, but I've never met any.
This is a fantastic resource of information, and I look forward to seeing more. Thanks again.
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing such an amazing experience with us. What about Buffalo Airways? I think this would be the next level. ;)
It's been 25 years since I was last in Bodo. Thanks for the "ride"!
I think its 15 years since I was as well,was it for military service?
Thanks for this video. Very interesting I flew Wideroe a few days ago in the 400. BGO to TRD. Beautiful scenery.
Having short flights like they do makes them more proficient as they are actually flying the plane more than a long haul pilot. (My opinion).
Great video. Brill to get close up to the pilots and their comments and breathtaking scenery. Have you thought about doing the island hopping flights in Scotland and landing on the beaches!
Winter flying must really be interesting there. Maybe a series on that.
Trevlig video!
This brings back memories,have not flown one of these that far north since I was in the army.
Its a whole different country up there in the arctic. (Northern part of Norway).,Its some of the most unforgiving terrains on the planet.
Im willing to bet a lot of their current pilots are ex military.
Looks like some very professional working crew!
Hi Gabe, love your reports. Wanna do some flights in New Zealand maybe one year... Greetx from Fra. Kai
Hopping around the San Juan Islands on Kenmore Air might be fun.
I feel sorry you skipped Alta, the biggest town in Finnmark, Norway. Thanks for sharing this arctic tour with us.
Really good well done
Such a beautiful place.
As a private pilot and an Australian of 78 years age, I simply love watching your flights Gabriel. As an Aussie through and through, I simply cannot understand how any human being would choose to live voluntarily in those icy confines. That's what makes us different. I love green vegetation below me at around 20deg Celsius.
As a Norwegian, I've been asking myself the same questions. I love summer and 20 C as well. But the family business is in snow removal services, so I'm kind of not allowed to ask for summer just yet. :D
Yepp its hard to understand that we can live up north here in Norway . But you should take a trip up north in the summer and you will see that your green vegetation is not even close to the sharp green in our arctic summers. You`re always welcome to Norway Rick😃
Haha, let's hope you never have to spend a winter in Canberra! 😃I am also a fellow Australian Pilot (CPL however only fly recreationally due to the Covid period and a change in path) Where do you fly out of mostly mate? YMMB (Melbourne Southeastern suburbs) is my local. Safe flying!
@@Republic3DSnow Removal Services will not run out of Business in Norway soon.😃
@@NicolaW72I think you're right! If this winter was an indication, we will have more snow!
I really love Norway 🇳🇴 just beautiful country
It’s on my must-visit list. I hope to make it there soon!
@@Malamba4231This summer could be a good time to visit, our currency NOK is very weak against the USD/EUR/GBP, meaning you get a lot more for each USD/EUR/GBP. This means a visit to Norway might not be that expensive anymore.
That is true,its insanely large in areal as well.
You will see all kinds of vistas except deserts i reckon.
Its sad the government is so incompetent but also good their stable.
Your flight on LN-WIF was 29. February. At the same time a NATO exercise on land, in air and at sea was going on. Special regulations with regards to photography from aircraft was introduced a number of places during the time if the exercise. News agencies in Norway have for years had stories of these Russian interruptions on civilian aircraft and passenger carriers in northern Norway, and it is part of the diplomacy the Russian frequency of interruptions goes high the more NATO closes into the Russian border. (Not to make a lame point, but there are very good reasons to keep NATO at distance from Russia.)
Wideroe and its machines are among my favorites! In these small aircrafts one really are able to feel some power and connection to being in the air. (Bumpy rides in snowy winter-storms is perhaps not wanted.) You had just calm beautiful flights though, with spectacular sceneries. Lucky you!
Great video!
НАТО имеет право
A flight to innsbruck in the Cockpit World be cool!! Hope you can do this one Day. Greet from austria 😊
Cool video 👍
Continue with the North Atlantic theme by visiting the Faroe Islands using their own domestic airline Atlantic Airways. A beautiful place to visit that is well connected between islands with their tunnels and ferries. I'd love to visit myself one day.
This was great 🍿
Allot of fun, thank you
Thanks for nice view of Arctic ...Regarding jamming.. Few years ago i traveled from South Europe to Nordcap via Russia...Going from Murmansk to Kirkenes i was surprised by russian road signs that foreign license plate cars are not allowed to turn from main road and think that it's 'communistic past' :) Until entered Norway - Norway meet us with road signs 'Next 10 km no any photos, no stopping, no camping' and so on :) So - it's the similar from both sides of the border ... :)
Well we do not jam russian signals ... or GPS, thats the difference, the reason for no photo is because of 2 things ... military area most likely and there are 5km zone around airports where you are not allowed to fly drones, also to fly drones you are required to have a special licence to fly it, and you have to tell the airport services that you fly or where you fly so they can either call you if a plane gets close or warn planes that there are drones in the area.
@@arcticblue248 No, it was not within 5km from border or airport - maybe 20-30km from border (if I remembered correctly - somewhere between Kirkenes and Finland border... There was prohibited even stopping for several km - nobody talk about drones :)
Be curious to see what the GPS was reading.
Was is jammed locally or from space?
Love the scenery. Great video.
it's been waaaay to many years I been in a Widerøe, probably is football season I may go to Bodø from evenes with Widerøe since it's so heavy discounts
Probably the most beautiful part of the globe❤
нет. самая красивая часть- это Северная Америка. А это так, грязь их под ногтей
Nice
Evenes is the airport i use to travel from
Thoroughly enjoyed the flights, Gabe. I am curious about the stop at Andenes and the necessity to go dark at Andøya. According to Wikipedia the base is not active and a satellite view showed only one plane parked there that I could see. Your take?
There were a lot of USAF F/A-18 Hornets and other military aircraft at this time, during the big excersize Nordic Response. But he should rather have switched off the camera at Evenes, which is a RNoAF QRA base.
@@jeoverv Thank you for clarifying. Terrific flights over beautiful Norway.
I missed Lofoten! You promised!😢
Damm, Ruzzian troll-bots are working overtime in this comment section with the whataboutisms 😂
That is all they have in their abysmal toolboxes.
Its just to be expected from a society less educated than people in western countries.
I feel sorry for the vatniks and Rusbots.
They have never experienced the free world.
They work for Kremlin because there's no other source of employment, except to be in the meat grinder.
Most of them have never travelled to the West.
Stuff we take for granted here in the West they only dream of.
So I guess that they driven by idealogical standards and raw envy. Shame.
They could be so much more with their skills and earn lots in the West and improve the lives of many.
Nice report, but u where lucky - shiny weather. these pilots are fighting the weather in January, down to minima on short fields..
Thank you for visiting my contry 🙂
I see you all over RUclips comments haha
I see you all over RUclips comments haha
I see you all over RUclips comments haha
@@FastGuy1 WOW Let me know
got an interesting question... after each flight how many minutes / hours rest is required for the pilot if there's any ?
Russian jamming is just harassment.
What kind of jam did they use? Raspberry?
The most spectacular airports are in the south-wester part og Norway: Sandane, Sogndal and Ørsta-Volda.
🙂
Evenes is a NATO QRA base with 2x F-35 on 15min standby. No filming allowed. The airport is protected with NASAMS equipped with AMRAAM missiles.
DME - distance measuring equipment
Hi Gabe (and others watching), Pardon my ignorance, but I don't learn if I don't ask: Does GPS jamming violate any international laws regarding aviation? RogerC 3/29/24
It might be. But in a sensitive airspace I can imagine no commercial flight should fly there. And in case of those guys, they might be skimming along border of such sensitive airspace
@@tommegg8486 Makes sense; thank you...
Get back to VOR's and DME's, also NDB is possible. Only had that when i was flying - worked well. Now many VOR's are shut down here in Norway and Europe...
I couldn't agree more. So much better and more requiring of more skill than simply flying the magenta line.
Amazing views, thank you! Makes you wonder, though, how sustainable or ecological are these 10 minutes flights? Sure Norway has all the money in the world.. :-D Ps. Damn the russians!!!
I have a question. How did you get permission to sit in the cockpit? Is that something a normal passenger can do?
Russian ongoing hybrid warfare. I believe an aircraft like Dash 8 will compensate quite well for Russian GPS jamming with other navi means. Like the pilot said, dmi. INS?
Yeah, on board ADIRU can compensate for a lot of things. Else all fail (gps, no vor, no dme, no ndb) it can still do dead reckoning
Fly Ravn in Alaska
Gotta use that sextant. ;)
I still don't understand how the whole GPS jamming in the Baltics and Norway doesn't seem to invoke any response from NATO/the EU. Did they even say a single word about this? I only know because of some people on twitter.
Ofcourse we protest but they refuse and does not take responsibility, but both Norway and Finland have been able to triangulate where jammersignals comes from so we know its them.
@@arcticblue248 I haven't seen a single news article about the EU saying somrthing
@@FalconX88 Brussel is so far from here, thats how life is out at the rim you know 🙂 Even Oslo is far away at times when it comes to us northerners... (I live in Finnmark).
Evenes is also a very heavily militarized airport. Pretty sure some military officials wouldn't like that filming 🙃
Fly the e190-e2
Narvik my city cool
Let hope this comment section should be normal
Same thing happened to us
But is Chinese balloons
Great video guys, but the bass on the drum from the music is really annoying
Revert to IRS.?.
a flying object with two hands-on look better than aeroplanes with a joystick out of the amiga/c64 time ...sad that both stearing "wheels" are synchron
Kind of a throwback to ww2 bombers in that regard.
That guy on the right seat is either too green or has no feeling for he's doing.
The russian trolls are really active here I see...
Waiting for russians to comment...we all know what they are gonna say
I’m pretty sure it jammed because you’re flying past a highly militarized area. 😂
I'm guessing you were not that far from the Russian border. Time for old school nav. It's called a map, a compass and a set of eyes.
NATO exercise "Steadfast Defender 2024...
Not sure how the pilots failed to inform you that evenes is probably the 2nd most restricted millitary aera in norway (filming etc), photos and videos from above is strictly forbidden (way, way more forbidden than andenes), i would highly suggest removing and editing away the evenes part, before the authorities get in touch with you.
I know a person that was ordered to delete his footage from stavanger, sola airport, by a military man sitting behind him!
Go to Senja!
Oh ok James Bond
You don't really get any sensitive information out of this video (not any more than what already exists on the open internet), so it's most likely fine. I would assume he got permission up front to film the approach due to this being a video on behalf of Flightradar24.
🤣
They did not tell you that Senja is inhabited by Spanish and Portuguese that got stranded in the 1600s and never left. There are places on Senja where they still have siesta
Same with Røst, near Bodø. Thats were my family from, all with Italian roots
Zero "Spanish and Portuguese got stranded" in Senja , also no Italians stayed in Røst.
Hey,friend. Thanks for that interesting bit. I never knew that.😊
@@arnepedersen1503 Yes they did!
Andøya does NOT mean "duck island". We know from several sagas that the the Viking age name comes from Ǫmd. The actual meaning is unknown, but it's unrelated to ducks.
If you directly translate it, yes it does mean duck island.
From all the recruits been there in the army it s named Devis IIand (Djeveløya) :D
🦆
It make it easier for foreigners to remember the name and there are a lot of ducks here so it's okay. But yes it probably mean ande, breathing or something similar.
not the russians again
Nice video today. Russia and NATO always mess with each other. It keeps all the techies on both sides busy.
It's good we have ways of circumventing such problems😅 😅😅
Nah... NATO isn't pulling this kind of shit. It's just the pirate state who does it, because why wouldn't they?
first?
Dude is all drama LMAO
Gay bottom
A bit slippery runway. Must be Russians to blame too?
i heard russia jammed gps so does isreal for there planes when flying my bad im wrong
🇳🇴🫡 🇷🇺👎🏼
Mate, they do that on all our flights by the Black sea and Turkish do their own jamming.
Get used to it darling 😘
That’s has been happening since like 2014 😂
What a hilariously unnecessarily condecending comments, do bettee
Russian here. It's actually a logical thing that could happen bordering Russia. Especially when Norway's flights are kinda close to Murmansk that has nuclear submarines and also Olenya Air Base near Murmansk.
Weapons use GPS to come for you so why won't they do it, BTW awesome flight.
Sanctions work in both directions.
Eh. Not really, Russia is an inconvenience, but marginal.
This has been going on since long before the war in Ukraine.
They've done this shit since before 2014
This is not sanctions, this is a form of warfare. Minor inconvenience though, they use VOR/DME and inertial navigation.
Russia sanctioning american GPS systems? Lol what a nonce
