Well Putin's system is turned off or degraded more than Trump's without prior warning, I know as I am based and work in Putin's airspace.
Definitely agree with you regarding the use of other ground base navaids as a backup, even the trusted NDB's are still widely used for approaches East of the European border.
Anyway each to their own method, personally having been trained old school in the methods of navigation I like to have charts available for VFR navigation they always got me to the target in the past
