UK military jamming other nations' satellites to defend itself, BBC told

The UK Ministry of Defence has confirmed that it has been jamming other nations' satellites in order to protect its own military communications. The practice, which is not illegal under international law, is used to prevent the interception of sensitive information. The UK has been using the tactic since 2018, and it has been successful in disrupting the signals of foreign satellites. The MoD has not specified which countries' satellites have been targeted, but it has confirmed that the tactic has been used in several operations.
