Moscow will respond to possible questions related to the alleged jamming of the GPS signals by Russia during the recent NATO exercises in Scandinavia after Helsinki and Oslo use diplomatic channels, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko said on Thursday.

MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 15th November, 2018) Moscow will respond to possible questions related to the alleged jamming of the GPS signals by Russia during the recent NATO exercises in Scandinavia after Helsinki and Oslo use diplomatic channels, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko said on Thursday.

The two-week Trident Juncture exercises in Norway were overshadowed by several instances, in which pilots reported losing GPS signals. Finnish Prime Minister Juha Sipila said on November 11 they were being investigated as possible jamming by Russia.

"If we get a request through diplomatic channels, we will consider it, of course. If there will be specific [questions], we will respond. This is a normal diplomatic practice," Grushko told reporters.
