Only USA and Russia have global GPS systems for open use.

Civilian GPS can be turned off instantly. It also does not operate above Mach 1 (to prevent military use)

Most military aerospace vehicles use a self contained navigation systems. Lose GPS and they can still find their way, that and also the secure data links can provide position info.

Once they develop autonomous drones we are screwed.

Might be an up-side. If everyday folks can conjure their own counter-measures to despots (guns, drones, communication systems) then it might give freedom a fighting chance.

Or, I could be hallucinating.
