Safety Improvements such as 's Navigation Message Authentication should be adopted faster, with GPS interference levels on the rise in Europe.

“On December 26, a large swathe of land and water between Växjö in the north, Stralsund and Neubrandenburg in the west, Łódź in the south, and Białystok in the east was red, indicating a GPS interference level of more than 10%”

Interesting footage from Victor Alegre, an A330 capitain at Iberia Airlines, experiencing interference.

> Spoofing overflying Arabia & Egypt FL360
At first comment IRS Position and GPS Position at same time: 1 degree error Latitude, 2 degrees error Longitude, 34.000 ft Altitude error causing GPWS PULL UP.

The Flight Management Guidance Envelope Computer (which can disable GNSS inputs) thinks the aircraft is too low, causing pull up warnings.
