Any idea why they are ok with posting pictures of the interceptors? Won't that make it easier for Russians to figure out way around it?
The picture here has a blurry patch of sky with no detail that could be matched to weather patterns, and the side of a pickup truck. There's not much actionable intelligence in knowing that at some point, a drone was next to a pickup truck.
the russians can't do it, but there is actually far more data in this picture that could be used to reconstruct parts of the surroundings. if you check the lense of the drones camera, you can even make out the reflection of the person who took the picture. other reflections are less clear, but with months of hard work, there's a small chance to reconstruct something useful. at least it's a cloudy day, so shadows from sunlight are less helpful.
Geolocation of images isn't sci-fi or magic. You need to have something recognisable in an image that can distinguish the image from a similar image taken somewhere else. It's not an intelligence breakthrough that the image was taken by a human, and any efforts to identify which human will be fruitless as their face is only about nine pixels, which are out of focus and eroded by the bokeh from the sky in the neighbouring pixels. From the detail available, we can't even tell if they're wearing a balaklava, which would make the face unidentifiable even if an analyst did have access to magic.
