The Ukrainian Defence Intelligence Directorate has published the first images and shared details of the ICEYE satellite.

Here's What We Know

Over five months of operation Ukrainian reconnaissance personnel analysed almost 1,000 locations of Russian invading troops and equipment. Thanks to the satellite it was possible to detect 7321 objects of enemy equipment, including:

45 aircraft
27 helicopters
6 Iskander missile launchers
36 S-300 SAM SYSTEMS
12 Pantsir-S1 surface-to-air missile systems
11 radar stations
10 pontoon crossings

Most of the equipment on this list has already been destroyed.

Flashback

At the end of June 2022, Ukrainians raised $20 million 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.
