The Telegraph named a possible cause of the crash of an ambulance plane in the United States.

The crash of an ambulance plane in the US state of New Mexico, which killed four people, could be related to military tests of an experimental means of suppressing the GPS signal. This was reported on August 5 by The Telegraph newspaper.

"According to one of the reports, the crash of an air ambulance <... It could have been related to the testing of an experimental tool by the American military," the publication says.

According to the newspaper, before the crash, the crew reported a loss of GPS navigation. Similar problems were recorded by other aircraft, after which the controllers asked the military to stop testing at the White Sands test site.

However, the preliminary report does not confirm that GPS interference caused the crash. The document only states that tests of signal suppression devices were taking place in the area at the time of the accident. Final conclusions are expected after the investigation is completed.
