So the pilots can't navigate without GPS? I hope they realize that in a shooting war with China GPS won't be available.

They should have inertial navigation system (INS) back up.

You're wrong; they keep a sextant in their flight bags.

That is what I have been saying.

Satellites will need defense systems to keep them safe.

I sometimes wonder about that.

We have a lot of GPS navigation built into military hardware, which will be useless against a sophisticated enemy.
