- ICEYE: Finland; sub-daily (multiple times per day) persistent monitoring.
- Satellogic: Uruguay; up to 4 times a day for specific points of interest.
- Axelspace: Japan; aiming for 1–3 day revisits with their growing constellation.
- Synspective: Japan; daily monitoring capabilities using SAR (radar) technology.
- e-GEOS: Italy; daily revisit capabilities through the COSMO-SkyMed

USAs accuracy below expectation, more holes where schools used to be?
USA's damage to their bases and equipment worse than we know?
Some sort of environmental catastrophy about to happen due to war crimes?
Masses of refugees heading out to another country? (Remember the hordes heading from south America to the US?)
Iran has now got well defended sites moving quickly toward nukes?

Laundry fire in the Newest Carrier in the fleet. Multiple Reapers downed. Multiple F15s shot down. Munitions used more in a month of fighting than in decades of the War on Terror. Currently there are 3 f****** carrier strike Groups in the area.... These are levels of power projection that should bring a nation to its knees yet.... Going on 2 months. They fucked up massively. Legendary levels of bag fumbling

So they're gonna censor the war from us? So we won't ever know what's going on. They know the people are against it, they know it's pointless. They had no other choice. This country is in the shitter and the way to take it out is to mobilize the superior military to seize resources and conquer foreign land. They tried with Greenland, they tested it out in Venezuela, now we're balls deep in Iran. Where's the domestic US manufacturing? This is a great time for alternative power sources to take off, for research to usher in the next era of prosperity, etc. Instead, we're wasting resources fighting needlessly amongst ourselves. Bad monkeys

Planet labs is only one of over 26 different companies that provide satellite data to the private sector. And seeing how the majority of war images we get are filmed with cell phones or released by militaries, their gesture is largely symbolic.
