Ukraine's defense intelligence has said it has managed to detect thousands of pieces of Russian military equipment using space reconnaissance.that a crowdfunded satellite purchased from Polish-Finnish manufacturer ICEYE has been used to find 150 areas where Russian forces were located.
Ukrainian intelligence was also able to locate Russia's Iskander, S-300 and Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft missile systems, enemy radars, pontoon crossings, as well as boats and tents. The satellite was purchased after a 600 million hryvnia fundraising campaign that started in June, led by the Serhiy Prytula Foundation, named after the prominent Ukrainian actor and politician.
The money was instead used to purchase the radar satellite, which was handed over to the GUR. The fundraising has allowed Ukraine to purchase access to the entire database of ImageSat International satellite images for more than a year.
