Something is not adding up.

Large scale GPS spoofing reporting coupled of days back.

ISI operatives arrested in Gujarat.

Now tons of explosives found with doctors in Faridabad.

What if the GPS “spoofing” around Delhi Airport last week wasn’t just a random tech glitch… but part of a larger counterintelligence game?

The timing is too sharp to ignore because:
1. Visit of Israeli PM Netanyahu
2. Visit of Russian President Putin in December.
3. Preceded by Series of NOTAMs across India
4. Now back to back arrests and 2900KG explosive

In recent days, Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA), Delhi’s busiest hub, saw an unusual spike in navigation disturbances. Articulated in news reports: fake GPS signals — a phenomenon called “spoofing” — misled aircraft position systems within roughly 60 nautical miles of the airport.

At the same time, the main runway’s Instrument Landing System (ILS) had been temporarily withdrawn for upgrading to Category III status — meaning aircraft were more reliant than usual on satellite-based navigation.

Put together: a scenario where normal defences were weaker — and something tested India’s air-domain resilience.

What exactly was going wrong? Spoofing differs from jamming: instead of blocking signals, fake GPS transmissions make receivers believe they are somewhere they aren’t.

At IGIA, while ILS was offline for upgrade, aircraft were relying on RNP (Required Navigation Performance) which depends on GPS. Once GPS signals started getting manipulated up to 60 nm out, authorities flagged the risk. The gap between ground-aids and satellite-aids became a vulnerability — one that apparently adversaries or non-state actors tested.

There are many possibilities of what's going on behind the scene:

Israeli PM and President Putin are supposed to visit India at a time when Pakistan and entire ecosystem are charged to take revenge of what happened during Op Sindoor.

What is a better way than sabotaging their visit with malicious attempts including blasts, crash etc.

When BRICS is hated by other group, creating trust deficit is the most dangerous thing.

Same was attempted when PM Modi was in China but failed.

This is not the only possibility:

You must have observed NOTAM issued all over the place by India from Arabian Sea to Bay of Bengal including central India.

It is done to conduct missile tests, run drills by defence forces.

It is being done after analysing war details of Op Sindoor captured by radars and other equiments.

There must have been signatures of GPS spoofing captured during this Op.

It is possible to have found indications of GPS spoofing being done from inside as well.

To identify who did it, govt must have released a pre planned date of ILS upgrade well in advance. So that these "players" attempt GPS spoofing and create chaos when flights would be dependent on GPS data for landing while ILS is down for upgrade work.

They took the bait in order to target VVIPs and exposed.

Why I say so?

There are 3 reasons:
1. Op Sindoor is "paused" and lot of joint drills happening. It has all indications of Op Sindoor part 2. Identifying and safeguarding airports and air operation is critical. For that India need identify the potential adversaries from inside or other side of border.

2. Mossad and FSB are doing sweeping exercise to ensure safety of their leaders during visit to India. This activity can well be part of the exercise given the charged geo-political environment. Where Netanyahu is targeted by 57 countries while Putin is always target of most powefuls of the world.

3. Since the spoofing incident, arrests are done rampantly from Gujarat to Faridabad to different parts of country. ISI and Pakistan sposored groups operatives within India are being arrested.

All these point to major intelligence breakthrough be it for any reason.
