but i read it somewhere in print media and also gen j. j . singh saying it on TV that it is not a threat as almost all the major countries and potential threats have already access to satelite views of major establishments.

This has been going on for decades.

The only difference, it was between the US and NATO versus the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact, and so it was limited as to who had access to what images.

Now that it's no longer limited to such an exclusive club, some nations are going to have to relearn the art of camouflage.
