The actual day to day of this stuff is surprisingly technical and boils down to unbelievably minute details, like what frequencies things are being transmitted in, or exactly what colors are getting picked up, or what angle the images are being taken from. It's all kind of stupid, tbh. But that's apparently how modern warfare works.
I guess I should clarify that the main reason I say it's stupid is because the US goes to incredible lengths to make sure some very specific radar can't be jammed in some very specific situation, but then we'll leave our entire power grid completely vulnerable to some 12 year old script kiddie in the Netherlands.

Isn't this a perfect example? Because of the tweet, they were essentially able to confirm that the satellite wasn't a decoy or something?
