What if the jammer is on an UAV? In China’s case, multiple UAVs with GPS signal emitters can fly along the coastal areas and over Chinese fleets, safe from interceptions by hostile aircrafts. The signals emit by them can cause the GPS signals from satellites unusable.

The jammer UAV signals will also be in the wrong direction

Why use GPS signals from the direction of the Pacific when you have signals from:
1. the direction of mainland China
2. or which are clearly from space

i stand corrected
you can buy an UAV frame for $3k

Also you get whole motorcycles for under 5K, mine was 8k and cant imagine engine being over 2k.

So maybe 1.5k for the engine, 500€ for electronics, price for fuel, explosives are also dirt cheap for countries like china, 130€ for the drone hull. Gps/beidou receiver and INS may be the most expensive after engine. Camera and software also cost short of 1000€ I presume.

The scenario I have in mind is missile attack on China. When the missiles are entering Chinese airspace, the GPS signals from the UAV may very well be from the Pacific direction. The missiles will not know which signals are from the satellites.

I see what you mean now.

The issue is that the INS will still override any signals which are grossly inaccurate
Plus if there is a camera, a missile can obtain a definite location fix as soon as it reaches the coast

My thought too. However, I hope the PLA runs a test. If it takes more effort and time than expected to destroy the mobile phones of a group of civilians under the immense stress of combat it could lead to tolerance for civilian casualties. I wonder if the rifle stock can be slightly modified in some way to make the process of smashing phones even quicker.
Lmao just put a bullet through the phone. Why the over engineering?

You suggest the missiles have two antennas in them that can determine the signal sources' directions so the jammer signals can be filtered out.
My solution is for the jammer to generate multiple fake signals for every GPS signal it receives. Every fake signal will amplify certain crests/troughs and negate certain crests/troughs of the real signal, and for each real signal, the jammer generates fake signals with small time shift so the missile can't determine the signal sources' locations.

Taiwan's power grid even without sabotage is bad enough, just mother nature turning the temperature up or down to where everyone flips the AC or heating on overloads the aging systems and causes brownouts and blackouts. Rigging a COTS quadcopter to spray graphite or some other substance to disable the transformers should be easy considering how understaffed their defenses are, though the PLA could probably just cyberstrike the control infrastructure and achieve the same effect.
