Russian authorities have not reported the exact cause of the GLONASS outage. Theories are circulating that blame faulty system and/or software upgrades, recent solar flares that could cause radio communication outages, or even the possibility that this was a targeted cybersecurity attack. No matter the cause, fixing the outage took close to 13 hours. During that time, Russia's version of the GPS was crippled and unusable.

Probably it was a Western gentle warning to show the russians that their outdated tech could be immediately disabled in case of a conflict.Russian nukes would probably target Moscow in that case.
They've lost their entire satellite system for 13 hours.
