Thanks to sponsors and donations from Ukrainians, Ukrainian intelligence has gained access to the services of the ICEYE satellite, which provides valuable intelligence to help in the fight against Russian aggression.
Satellite capabilities
Space observer
For almost two years of operation, the ICEYE satellite took pictures of 4173 objects of the Russian occupiers on the territory of Ukraine and in other regions of the world. Its data allowed intelligence to study in detail 17 naval bases, 153 fuel depots, 147 ammunition arsenals, 238 air defense and radio reconnaissance positions, as well as 370 enemy airfields.
Monitoring enemy movements
The satellite monitors the locations of Russian troops, military camps, training grounds and mobilization centers. This makes it possible to track the movements of the aggressor and predict his further actions and plans. ICEYE also controls Russian military-industrial complex facilities and supply routes for occupation forces, including the illegal Kerch Bridge.
Revealing hidden forces
Thanks to high resolution, the spacecraft can detect even camouflaged concentrations of troops and enemy equipment. Its characteristics make it possible to identify the types of detected aircraft, air defense systems and Russian ships. In addition, the satellite records the results of attacks by Ukrainian forces on enemy military targets.

Yes, the contribution of Ukrainians to the creation of the “people's satellite” is simply incredible! 💪 This satellite helps our intelligence to collect vital information about the location and activities of the enemy. I am very glad that thanks to him we have already managed to inflict serious damage on the occupiers.

And at first I was skeptical about this. 😕 But the numbers are impressive - the satellite helped identify hundreds of enemy targets throughout Ukraine and even beyond its borders. Technology is truly changing the tide of war in our favor!

Eh, all these newfangled things... 😒 It was much easier to fight in the good old days: I took a gun and went to drive away enemies from my native land! Not like now - only satellites and high technology... 🤨
