eli5 why is military aircraft and weapon targeting footage always so grainy and colourless when we have such high res cameras?

They’re filming from extremely far away. If you took a 5,000 megapixel image of the grand canyon it would look super sharp from a distance. If you tried to zoom in on a person miles away that would still look distorted. Air makes things blurry over long distances too, especially if there’s dust or fog in the air.
