A RYANAIR flight from the UK was forced to abort landing due to a mysterious GPS interference issue near NATO's border with Russia. The jet and it's passengers, about to land in Lithuania, were forced to desperately divert to Poland. This flight - which departed from London's Luton airport - had started it's decent into Vilnius Airport before it made a quick change.

The plane started lowering into the airport before it desperately lifted off again and flew 400 kilometres away into Warsaw, Poland. The shock move, so close to Russia's border with NATO, came after Estonia and Finland blamed Russia for jamming GPS navigation devices in the region's airspace last year.
Russia has denied these claims but a European airport suspended all of it's flights for an entire month last year due to the "extremely dangerous" issue. Estonia's second largest airport in Tartu had to dramatically cancel their flights for weeks after two Finnair flights were forced to return to Helsinki.
