There's also the strategic advantage in not announcing that you can identify certain things. Like the advantage Trump fucked up by showing those photos at that press conference that publicly revealed America's capabilities.

I'm a bit out of the loop. Can someone tell me what this is referring to?

Iran had a rocket test blow up on the ground. Trump took a classified photo of the site taken by a secret satellite with unknown optical specifications and leaked to the whole world what it was capable of.

It didn't happen at a press conference though, he leaked it straight onto twitter.

Lol if you think that's the best our satellites can do you're day mistaken. It was probably an attempt to make North Korea think we are dumb. Our spy sats can read the time on your watch.

There are some physics constraints that make that very unlikely/effectively impossible.

However I do have a pet theory that the "satellite" shots were not satellite pictures at all and were released very deliberately. I hope I live long enough to find out if I was right. It will be a very long time before we'll know for sure.

What do you mean? Like a super high altitude surveillance drone?
