They can get decent pictures, they can read a registration plate. They do not release those pics to the public though.

A new satellite has recently been launched, that allows commercial companies, like Google, to get pictures with a 25cm.sq. pixel.

How can they when Putin says there are no Russians fighting in the Ukraine? :biggrin:, they cant make a fuss about their tanks being blown up because there are none there :wink:..

Why don't the yanks sell the Ukrainians some tank busters or drones to blow them up :mad:
