Reverse problem:

You're trying to report up the presence of enemy armor
(which isn't supposed to be here, just light troops).

Your chain of command insists that SIGINT does not
indicate the presence of enemy armor.

You point out that you can see 3 tanks 400 meters
away.

Your chain of command says "That is not a SIGINT
indicator."

You offer to let your chain of command speak to the TC
of one of the tanks if they don't get some goddamn air
support here in about 5 minutes, and speculate as to
whether that would consistute a SIGINT indicator.
