Sounds like all jets that fly near Russia need to be equipped with Aim260 home on jam missiles. I bet that ends this stupid jamming of gps real quick.

Nah, you'll want to use an AGM-88 anti-radiation missile. The AIM-260 is an air-to-air intercept missile.

You are right. For some reason, I was thinking that the Russians were using plane based jamming near the boarders, but it is probably ground based.

Can that specifically lock into a jamming signal?
