Actually most modern munitions are guided by inertial navigation, mainly so targets can't jam them. Aircraft etc also have this capability. They have known about the risk of jamming since the beginning, so surely they've prepared for it.

Very true. My answer was a bit tounge-in-cheek, I just didn't get it across properly. While losing GPS would be a problem, it certainly wouldn't bring down our military.
This specific problem definitely wouldn't affect our aircraft simply because they would be at such a high altitude. Even if it was a problem, the military also has a some pretty impressive anti-jamming capability.
