It's always the little details that make these images impressive ... anyone can just cut and paste an object into an image and it doesn't look real
But add in details like lighting, shadows, smoke, mist, water, reflections ... and you make all those shadows and reflections plausible and at the appropriate angles ... very subtle additions and it makes it very convincing.

Enemy walker spotted!

I like the last one the most, it looks very real. Fooled my eyes at first glance.
Just added an extra image to the original post :) so probably not the last one anymore
Lol!
The third one! :)
A couple airships

I knew it
What did you use to generate these?
Midjourney
The first one really captures that touched up old photo look
