To deny access to Russia is one reason. Not saying it's the only reason, or that it's not more likely that Russia has done this.


Its a stupid reason. Russian military equipment uses GLONASS. Granted, GLONASS is just barely limping along, but it does work.


It's possible that GLONASS isn't working well for them for some reason. They've been using relatively few precision munitions. And of those few, many of them them seem to be missing by quite a lot. Some of the ballistic missiles they threw at runways look like they were probably under inertial guidance, judging by how badly they missed.
