>This image has a much higher definition than anything the US has admitted to in the past. Other nations probably guessed that the US has advanced satellite imaging, but now they no longer need to guess.
I think they still have to keep guessing, and here's why:
>The satellites are believed to have been the source of some imagery of the Soviet Union and China made public in 1997; images of Sudan and Afghanistan made public in 1998 related to the response to the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings;[citation needed] and a 2019 photo, revealed by President Donald Trump, of a failed Iranian rocket launch[10].

If these things were flying in 1997, presumably what's up there now is even better. That's over 22 years of time for further developments.
