eli5 why is military aircraft and weapon targeting footage always so grainy and colourless when we have such high res cameras?
In: 8218
Because those cameras aren’t meant to take sweet, hi-res photos for people on Reddit to think are cool, they’re infrared cameras meant to acquire targets and confirm that the weapon hit where it was supposed to. There are plenty of extremely high quality satellite photos of the same thing that you and I will never see because they are classified.
