@lauren Maybe they need a redundant system, with _both_ GPS and GLONASS.
Well, the USA has decades (and decades) of experience with getting news and information to people in denied areas. And since this much dissent doesn't happen overnight, I'm sure CIA has assets in-country with access to specialized equipment.
@agreeable_landfall They already are capable of receiving GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou, and QZSS. GPS is just popular shorthand for GNSS. Because they all use the same frequency bands, they are all affected.
@lauren So, even 2 gen ago russian jammers work on starkink. Huh.
