The next image is of the Khalifa International Stadium in Qatar. As one can see, the resolution of the image by Cartosat-3 is the clearest in terms of color and contrast. It also shows better details and a finer street view as well.

The last set of images are of the Old Doha Airport in Qatar. The Google maps image shows an outdated 2019 version. Bing Maps has a more clear view. The Apple Map could not be zoomed in any further. The images by Cartosat-3 was the clearest of them all.

So our spy capabilities are great..!
No wonder we retired the mig-25 foxbat so early..!
I always doubt whether we could have used the mig-25s as a interceptor and not just retired it completely. I mean an Iraqi mig 25 shot down an f-18, so they are useful in some regards...!

Cartosat images released aren't at their full resolution even for civilian use. Imagine its Military grade resolution

Woah the resolution is pretty dope. We should bring all of Pak and bordering areas of China under it ASAP
