If the enemy was able to knock out all operating satellites in the area of operations how well would the F22 hold up?

Not being able to acquire GPS sats is different from a software bug induced crash. No GPS maping system launches with GPS sats being recieved, it takes at least a few seconds, or maybe a minute or two, so I seriously doubt the lack of GPS would kill the thing entirely.

Oh. They would also start the aircraft in shelters on occasion, where GPS would never penetrate, so obviously it would run systems without it.

Thanks, I am wondering in general how dependent our military is on satellites today.

”Not being able to acquire GPS sats is different from a software bug induced crash. No GPS maping system launches with GPS sats being recieved, it takes at least a few seconds, or maybe a minute or two, so I seriously doubt the lack of GPS would kill the thing entirely.”

I understand it is different but wouldn’t the end result be similar without a satellite to give them the information they need, many of their systems would be un-operational.

Would the plane be able to hold up in a dog fight basically could they even find their targets without a satellite? I would assume being a stealth aircraft they wouldn’t want to use on-board radar.

I would suspect in about 10 years (give or take a few years) taking out satellites will not be a difficult task by China and Russia given they both have the capability today.

Thanks again
