Yes, you do underestimate US.But now they do, and they rely on it heavily. I'm not underestimating anyone, the US is not the same as it once was in the past, without the high tech gadgets, US regular forces are at a major disadvantage.
You do not even know the proper context of 'disadvantage'. In order to be at a 'disadvantage', the other side must have something that I do not have. So let us take away satellite assisted navigation which would include Glonass and Baidu, for now. Does anyone else have it?
Global Positioning System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This latest Chinese launch is at best half of the typical GPS orbit altitude. So what make you think that we cannot deny the Russians and the Chinese their satellite assisted navigation system, considering we are the pioneers of the concept and as well as the leader in ASAT weapons?Orbiting at an altitude of approximately 20,200 km (12,600 mi);...
We have 100 times the combat experience of the PLA even without GPS. So what make you think that we are that dependent upon GPS to take out Chinese targets?
I really really do hope the entire PLA thinks like you do, after all, they did predicted that we would take terrible losses in Desert Storm to win over Iraq.
