Astro (Star tracking) + INS would take care of navigation as a backup for most flights. I don't think astro would be much of an expense although approval might be a chore.

You're saying that the ipads maintain navigation while the aircraft doesn't?

Do you think the ipads are using their galileo/russian-gps receivers and the onboard system is GPS only?

That would be my first guess.

And your guess is correct . this is the case.

Flying/navigating using a mobile phone is the norm for Russian fighter pilots because their GPS systems are so bad and outdated.

Phone stuff is set up for ground not air eg east to west over Termerloh in Malaysia at 4,000 AGL
a/c Garmin spot on
handheld Garmin 72 spot on
Samsung Tablet actual 300m south of track
Motorola ph actual 300m south of track

This was in 2017, all gps was set to lat/long not Malaysian grids (major problem there)

Unable to comment on Ipad

'Quantum sensing' without any explanation sounds good marketing geekspeak. The current largest quantum computer has 1000 qubits. A worm brain has 302 neurons, so IBMs best effort is more capacity than 3 worms. Capable of replacing a manager, but not a pilot .

A number of stories about Russians duct-taping consumer GPS units in their military aircraft.

We need to stop them from obtaining advanced Western technology. How did they ever get hold of duct-tape?

It's not quantum computing - it's something else: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/u...hostile-actors

If we're doing Donald P. Bellisario, Airwolf probably had quantum sensors...

This is most likely a dashcam, based on the form of the unit and placement.

Nope, that is a Garmin Etrex GPS. I have one very similar!

Not much NATO equipment has performed particularly well. Relying on a single photo that I can source back to at least Dec 2021 with a GPS that has been many years in production is not a convincing argument of poor Russian technology.
