Google did not disclose Russian military installations. No changes were made to Google Maps

Google denies that it has made changes to its satellite imagery of Russian military installations: “We haven’t made any blurring changes to our satellite imagery in Russia.”

Earlier there was information that Google changed the status of Russian military and strategic facilities in its Google Maps mapping service. Numerous sources have claimed that after Google’s latest changes, a number of Russia’s secret military installations can be examined in detail, in particular, a nuclear weapons storage facility, a flight test site with the latest Su-57 fighter jets, an ICBM launch site, and an air base. The images then quickly went viral on social media.

But Google says it has never hidden these objects, and high-resolution images of them have been publicly available for years. Previously, Google blurred satellite images of certain areas, in particular areas of Israel and the Palestinian territories. The company is also known to blur satellite images of some important sites, likely at the request of national governments.
