A real 🍑. The satellite photos are public domain and come from different companies, countries and sources.

A picture can lie but usually if there are pictures of rocket launchers on the ground... it's harder to say there were no rocket launchers credibly. A big weakness of government intelligence was that they couldn't declassify. Now they can selectively show what they know using public non classified sources if it helps their war.
