The PLA and foreign armies strictly prevent the satellite monitoring resolution of Google Earth from reaching military level - the windows of the president's office can be clearly seen. The British military camp in Basra, Iraq is shelled every day, and the hit rate is getting higher and higher because militants can easily find the British military camp dormitory area and light armored vehicle parking area on Google Earth. Not long ago, a report in the Liberation Army Daily said that the PLA has noticed the potential security risks brought by the high-definition satellite images provided by Google Earth. In a recent readiness drill, a Red Army regiment of the Jinan Military Region focused its training on preventing reconnaissance and surveillance, and effectively avoided detection by Google Earth with the help of aerial drones.
International observers pointed out that as the search functions of Google Earth become increasingly powerful, all countries' militaries have taken actions to deal with possible security issues arising from it.
