Just embarrassing relying on this.
What you make of this, or any member make of this, Satellite OSINT interpretation vs On ground reality, and Political talk on incursion:
What is reliable or not. Colonel has a crucial point opposing Satellite imagery (IMINT), that incursion has happened, and Chinese hold positions in Ladakh, when things are made PUBLIC.
Air interpretation does not give true picture as its not real time, one day, or few hours old, can be photo shopped, where as when on ground events who have been involved tell and faced, would tell truth. A crucial point made.
My Conclusion is : Satellite OSINT IMINT(imagery intelligence) as well as on ground/locals news will make a potent force to destroy others claims and narratives. But on ground local news is not all to be based as they can lie / make up stories on the event as well, whereas real time OSINT becomes useful, tells the impact points, GPS, & damage assessment or just intelligence gathering of airports, military and civil infrastructure locations. It is a counterbalance to see if one is lying and making up stories. Both Satellite OSINT IMINT made public as well as actual ground information complement each other, how intelligently and fairly one uses it, is the point of deep analysis on judgment. Truth will eventually come out, if you hold ground or not.
