      They have sub meter accuracy on their constellation to which is pretty wild. US military satellites have ~10cm accuracy in a targeted location and Google’s internal data varies from 2m to 20m depending on location. The higher res stuff is usually still from drones or aerial imagery (cameras strapped to planes that are then used to build an orthograpic image, which is why there’s weird distortion in some places).

    Even as someone who thinks China is cool, I’m skeptical that they’re that cool.

          Yea, like 6 of them and their space agencies budget is 200 million USD

          I don’t think it’s farfetched that a Chinese company has far greater capabilities than what they have

      The “State linked military org” part is hyperbole but Iran probably does buy satellite imagery to make up for its own poor satellite coverage

    CGSTL is part of China’s military-civil fusion program, where private companies are expected to serve military needs when ordered by the government.

    Not like our good wholesome western companies who kill people just for love of the game. Palantir’s CEO was just bragging about how they murder people last month.

    “state-linked” is a qualifier for all satellite companies anywhere in the world, by the way

    adding that to the companies descriptor is meaningless

    What a bunch of entitled losers whining about adversaries in a military conflict “peeking” unfairly.

    Without reading any of the links it sounds as if houthis having been scoring some wins on their more powerful enemy.

      I read the ft link (thanks comrade for supplying both original and archive).

      Funniest sentence all week:

      Trump has made tackling Red Sea instability a priority, amid concerns that the Houthis continue to pose a threat to the global economy.

        Trump’s tariff policy is a greater threat to the global economy than the righteous defense of Palestine under international law.

      There are like 10 private, for profit, satellite imagery companies is America that will sell you access to their realtime data if you have a credit card and $5000. Iran could also buy from them because of muh free market. But it’s only an issue when they stop buying from them and start buying from a Chinese company that has better data at a lower price.

    If the US thinks this is propaganda that will turn people against China they are sorely mistaken.

    If any of the pro-palestine libs I know heard China were materially supporting the resistance they would become considerably pro-China.
