>Does this imply that GPS satellites are a legitimate military target for Russia right now?

GPS is a US military asset and consequently a military target for hostile actors.

The only thing keeping Russia from just blowing them out of the sky is because to do so would be an unconditional declaration and act of war against the USA.

And because they are using it in their planes and within their units. Sure you can argue with Glonass, but if it is working so well, why SU-34s are using Garmin with GPS instead?
Irrelevant - Garmin can receive GPS, Glonass, Galileo and BeiDou.
