Russia’s military is now on full display in Google Maps satellite view [Updated]

The company hasn't changed anything with regard to blurring out sensitive sites in Russia, so maybe we weren't looking at it until now.

The Internet got a better look at military facilities across Russia on Monday. Due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the sensitive locations were no longer visible on the maps. The end of the censorship of Russia's bases on the internet was announced by the Ukrainian armed forces.

Thanks to Donald Trump, we now know that the satellite view on the map is a far cry from what the US government has to offer. It will be useful to the growing number of open source intelligence analysts. The OSINT community has been cataloging Russian losses by using images of destroyed tanks, fighting vehicles, aircraft, and cruise missile attacks.

Some interesting sights have been identified by users. There are partially disassembled MiG-31s in the images taken of a Russian air base. One of the fighter jets is missing its wings, but it is painted in patriotic colors.

A Buran shuttle and a Su-47 technology demonstrator are parked outside of a test flight center at a Moscow airport.

I will probably get in trouble if I spend more time in a rabbit hole over Russia looking for ICBM sites, but that shouldn't stop you from posting your finds in the comments.
