Flashback
At the end of June The Armed Forces of Ukraine will get their own space satellite with access to the ICEYE satellite imagery database for three Bayraktar TB2 drones, but Baykar handed over the UAVs for free. Nearly two months later it was revealed that the money had been spent on the purchase of one satellite and access to the database of all ICEYE satellites. The purchase of the satellite was handled by the Sergei Pritula Foundation.
