I wonder how many of the plane "GPS receivers" can pick up GLONASS as well? Most consumer units can see both networks these days, however aviation tech is known to lag a lot in such matters.

I wonder whether this GPS jamming also affects GLONASS.

  It definitely will affect GALILEO, the US threatened to embargo the EU if GALILEO would be impossible* to jam. (Well, "impossible" – the original EU plan was to reuse the same frequencies the US and Russia use for military GPS and GLONASS for GALILEO’s civilian use, but the US threatened some embargo, and so GALILEO isn’t the awesome thing it could have been)

    That's an interesting thing I didn't know about it!

Russians got GLONASS support in so many devices so quickly by simply passing a law that any device sold in the country with GPS support also has to have GLONASS

fun fact: most consumer grade GPS stuff can pick up GLONASS, particularly the RF baseband chips found in all modern smartphones, because about 5 years ago Russia threatened to put a 250% import duty on all imported smartphones that didn't function with GLONASS. Therefore companies like Qualcomm which develop the RF chips in a smartphone were required by their customers (such as LG) to include GLONASS.

  Do you know if it's supported in software; say iOS or Android?

    As far as I'm aware, all current major android and iOS devices support GLONASS. You can check the phone's specs at gsmarena.com to confirm.

    On Android, check https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest&hl=cs https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross... - it will actually show you which satellites from the constellation are whose: I can see US, Russian and Chinese units. On a higher level, it's integrated into the location provider - the apps don't need to care, they just get a location fix, regardless of the technology used.
