Is it illegal to take photos of military bases?

The general army has a confidentiality policy, and individuals can't just take photos and send them online. If you take photos with military base style at will and post them on the Internet, spies will see through and expose the specific address of the military base and the equipment of active servicemen. In this way, once it is seen by the troops/lawless elements of hostile countries, it is easy to be breached when the troops are attacked from outside.

A military base generally refers to an area where a certain number of armed forces are stationed to carry out specific military activities and have corresponding organizations and facilities.
