At least in the United States, released footage from military aircraft cameras is heavily blurred and degraded to obscure the true capabilities of the camera. The real images are crisp with extraordinary detail. I don't know if this applies to Poland's equipment.

US has very strict rules when selling advanced weapons, and usually doesnt need to advertise them (for example General Atomics Reaper). Manufacturers from other countries without solid track record dont have this luxury, hence extensive demonstrations on the trade show floors and in the field.
Pretty much every army on a budged uses DJI drones, because they make the best civilian UAVs period.

"The Ukrainian forces attacked an UAV unit of the Russian army. The drones themselves were not abandoned, however a control unit for an Eleron-3 light reconnaissance drone was captured and a cargo truck was destroyed."
Five Mavic 3 boxes visible.
Polish domestic military UAVs video feed quality looks downright pathetic when compared even to something like 6 year old <$1K Mavic Pro. https://www.wbgroup.pl/en/produkt/flyeye-unmanned-aerial-sys... ~$150K a pop.
