  Good look snapping a picture of a ~20m jet travelling almost at mach1 from at least 500km away with a camera that is on a fixed orbit so you dont control where it is at a particular time. (and even if you did unless you took a picture of it during take off, that also wouldnt tell you where it was flying from.)

      Notice how those are on the ground, at a known location (an airbase), so a photo can be planned for in advance.

      They are decidedly not fast jets travelling on an attack mission at close to the speed of sound.
