It can be barred for reasons of national security if it is nt espionage. And first amendment challenges would only matter at conviction. A person in the US having filmed a missile shot at a plane could be arrested like may have happened in Iran.

Many people have filmed terrorist attacks in the USA.

They may be compelled to turn over the footage to law enforcement, but they would not be arrested merely for taping.

People get arrested for filming cops on a regular basis, why do you find it inconceivable that someone would be arrested for filming a military operation?
