I'm normally a pacifist.

But - send in the missiles.

I hope the fact that they are determining the location of artillery positions means that they are planning air strikes

Why bomb your own cities? If the government wins, it means they have to repair their own cities. You have to be a real cold hearted bastard to smash your own cities with artillery.

a lot of satellite imaging is done outside of the visible spectrum, so the fact that they're black and white could easily be because they're false colour images

To them, insurrection of any form must be crushed by any means necessary. After all, to them, cities can be rebuilt, more people will be born; but they won't get a chance to re-establish power if they're ousted.
