The thing is, China has their own GNSS called Beidou (pronounced like Play-Dough if I’ve been informed correctly). China has spent the last 10 years convincing non-aligned countries (Brazil and most of South America, many African nations, etc) to switch to using it instead of GPS. An attack by Russia would be “condemned” by China but would actually be a boon to them and their allies. Europe has their own GNSS, too, but it is much less widely used.
Oh I hadn’t realized that Beidou-3 has global coverage. I thought that was still a regional system. Thanks for mentioning countries outside of their earlier area of coverage
If Russia did this to the world they’d be declaring war on everyone. China wouldn’t stand for it and they would likely act.
Yeah, like, what nation wouldn’t see this as an act of war if deployed on a targeted and continous scale?
