If your target has a permanent address it shouldn’t be to big a problem.
For instance, if the Seals had this available when they were after Osama Ben Laden they could have used this to confirm his presence in the compound after they suspected he was there.
They could have set it up on a mountain that looked down on the compound.
How do you know they didn’t have this?
Or they could of just not gone at all as Osama was already dead.
Obama needed his big distraction though
if the Seals had this available when they were after Osama Ben Laden...

.The B camera had a 36-inch focal length and resolved features as small as .75 meters (2.5 feet) from an altitude of 19.3 kilometers (65,000 feet). Designed by Dr. James Baker, the panoramic B camera had revolutionary image-movement compensation that allowed for the motion of the aircraft and the vibration of the engine, as well as the movement of the highly sensitive, fast, and ultra thin Kodak film also especially designed for the project. Shooting through seven glass encased windows in the belly of the U-2, the B camera recorded everything along a 3,500 km (2,700 mile) course, up to 200 km (125 miles) wide, and it could provide up to 4000 pairs of stereoscopic photographs.
