Man, google sure is sweet!  Great stuff, Softwar.

 

Don't this work both ways?   just wonderin...

Not exactly - since the US does not depend on fixed missile sites for air defense - leaving the only real sites to track to be  known locations of ICBMs and the two ABM sites - one at Vandenberg and one in Alaska.

 

China - on the other hand - is much like the old Soviet Union in that it depends on a combination of fixed and mobile missile sites as part of their air defense.  The mobile sites depend on RF communications and therefore have the inherent weakness of using jammable or traceable C3.  The fixed sites use fiber optic systems to communicate and it's a good idea to keep a close track of them.

Softwar, I like your answer (it sounds kind of familiar...), but my response is "yes."  It does work both ways:  each country's populace interested in military affairs can use GoogleEarth and other internet imagery to look at another country's military facilities. 

 

For many countries I suspect this may rival the best imagery their military can get, too, such that for them this is potentially a war-fighting tool.  There certainly is concern by some of us over the detail available to middle-east countries and even terrorists regarding our facilities over there.  When you're shooting a SCUD with a CEP of nearly 1km, a GoogleEarth image is more than accurate enough for targeting purposes.
 

Since I started looking at these S-Dub I've always found that these are truly fascinating, but I got to ask, and I'm sure there's an obvious answer, but if I scroll through the countryside off some of these I come to areas, that I can not view except from an extremely high level.   I've gone over different parts of the world with this, Japan, Korea, China....what's the limits to this?   Can you not get a satellite image of the big cities?  b/c I believe where Seoul is, is greyed out.   Or are certain areas blocked, of countries, which then begs the question, if the governments of these countries approve or deny areas of viewing....which in turn means what you're finding though cool, is only a small piece of the bigger picture.

At this point - I believe that no areas are off limits.  While China has issued complaints and threatened to prosecute - Google and the sat photo companies are not backing off.

 

As for big picture - space rece is kind of like looking at the world through a straw - you have to know where to look to see anything of interest.  Thus, some of the intell that has led me to points on the globe are based on info passed to me or accumulated from various sources.
