Surprised that Russia hasn’t unleashed its ASAT weapons against the Google satellite.
That would be an act of war.
The point is, this has ALWAYS been going on since the early 2000s.
The Russians haven’t a leg to stand on.
Do this for proof—use Google maps in satellite view and go to Fort Walton Beach, Florida. Look for Hurlbert Field and count the O-22 Ospreys on the restricted tarmac, just Northeast of the runways. Now you can see what everyone else can, no more no less than any Russia Air Force base.
Too late. Google already has the pictures. Mostly acquired, at least in the early days, from publicly available (if you’re willing to pay) satellite data.
