We use to have these things called satellites that could take pretty high res pictures instead of giving the Iranians something to brag about.

Not in 'Real Time'

Recently, I had a conversation with a USAF Colonel who ran a 'drone' control center in the US. An on-site forward air controller was calling in a drone strike on an enemy target. This colonel was supervising several drone operators and was responsible for giving clearance to fire.

This particular mission just 'seemed a bit off' to him, so he radioed to the forward air controller on the ground thousands of miles away, telling him, "Wave at me". The on-screen image at the "target" co-ordinates showed a man in uniform waving at the sky.

"Be advised - you've swapped your co-ordinates with those of your requested target."

OOOOOPS!

(attention to detail matters!)

Many modern surveillance satellites do provide real time video.
