Here's a 1.5-minute video published by NATO about the role of US Army combat cameramen who document soldiers in peace and war, at rest and in combat.
On September 21st, 2017, a DJI Phantom 4 camera drone flying recreationally near Brooklyn, New York, collided with a US Army Black Hawk helicopter. The chopper received a 1.5-inch dent on one of its main rotor blades, but it was able to land safely.
The US Army recently said that it was removing all DJI equipment from its operations due to "cyber vulnerabilities," in what was a blow to the public image of the Chinese drone manufacturer. In response, DJI has now developed an option to fly without any Internet data transfers in an effort to appease sensitive corporate and government organizations.
It looks like the US Army is discontinuing the use of all DJI camera drones and products in its activities due to concerns about "cyber vulnerabilities." That's according to a memo obtained by sUAS News.

A few hours ago, the official Facebook page of the First Army Division East posted the above photograph with the caption:

The powerful photograph instantly attracted tens of thousands of Likes and Shares, and began going viral online.
Check out this beastly camera used by Signal Corps during the Cold War. It featured a 100-inch infrared lens that was capable of seeing through over twenty miles of hazy air -- perfect for capturing reconnaissance photographs of enemy strongholds. The camera was so massive that it required two people to operate: one to frame the shot, and one to snap the photo.
100-inches is 2540mm and the camera appears to use 4x5 large format film, so the equivalent 35mm focal length of this cannon-like lens is roughly 760mm.
