Like the same can’t be done in locating Ukrainian positions, etc? /s
One of my duties in the 1990s was closing down US bases in Europe and reallocating computer equipment and rerouting/terminating communication circuits across the theater and back to stateside.
In the 1994/95 timeframe, I visited so many places, both known and even classified it is all a mashup of memories.
I have been using Google Earth Plus to find many of these places in recent times. Things to look for? Baseball diamonds. Even bases now closed for almost 30 years still shows signs of this.
And yes, I have used GE+ to keep up with changes at my old home base of Ramstein Air Base in Kaiserslautern Kreis, Germany (and even the house I used to rent and my neighbors places on the street. Missing old times!).
Some of the places were very close to old Soviet and Warsaw Pact bases so I look for those, too. And I’ve scanned Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, etc, looking for the same.
So this isn’t really news.

Eglin AFB in Florida. The Russians can do the same thing to us, they just have to “unmask” the airplanes.
