The article traces a specific failure chain: a May 2026 medevac crash in New Mexico where GPS jamming from a military NAVFEST exercise at White Sands disabled the pilots' primary navigation system, forcing them to hand-fly instruments they rarely practiced, leading them to request a visual approach toward runway lights. They then lost those lights when terrain (the Capitan Mountains) blocked the view, disoriented them, and they flew straight into the slope. The broader claim is that drone warfare and counter-drone electronic warfare are creating expanding zones of GPS disruption (up to 400 miles in this case) that degrade civilian aviation safety, especially when pilots lack proficiency in backup systems. The source documents ten military jamming exercises in the past year, similar incidents in DC and Texas, and references ongoing GPS disruption in contested regions like the Strait of Hormuz. The article doesn't provide a proposed solution—just quotes experts noting the problem is systemic (aviation industry slow to adapt, counter-drone tech is broad-spectrum). One sharp question: what does "it's too early to know" actually mean for that Pakistani K2 Airways crash described at the end—are investigators still collecting data, or is causation genuinely uncertain?
