Anyone with the ability to jam GPS can easily spoof VOR signals.

But in this case, they're not. Plus, the crew are going to be the ones determining if their VOR/DME makes sense or not.

We don't know that they aren't spoofing VOR/DME as well. We might be seeing reports from affected aircraft, rather than specifically targeted aircraft.
