Popular Mechanics: The Air Force Turned Off GPS To Rehearse a War Without It
Red Flag 2018 is a dry run for a war without satellite navigation.
The U.S. military is worryingly dependent on GPS. Our global positioning satellites tell planes where they are, provide targeting info for smart weapons, and support communication and navigation systems. But in a war with a tech-advanced adversary—think China, Russia, or Iran—GPS could become a big liability because it could be jammed, spoofed, or outright destroyed.
So how does the U.S. Air Force train for such a scenario? Simple—just turn it off.

Russia sold GPS jammers to Saddam.
Some of the bombs going astray are a propaganda victory for the usual suspects such as Global Research and their readers.
So the U.S. got a bloody nose so to speak and they adapted.
The satellites will be the first to go and very quickly. Are the rockets carrying nukes GPS guided?
Well Bob, this as nice as I can be considering what side of the aisle you stand on and the ... of the question and things in general.
My 1st guess was gyroscopes. They have been around for 275 years.

If the gyroscope had not been invented then then the Nautilus first navigated under the polar ice pack, some poor schmuck would have had to open a hatch to get bearings, if the gyroscope had not been invented. Or have been extremely good at dead reckoning.
Nice try Smith but what question did you think I asked?
It hit and it hurt.
I can tell you replied.
