KYIV, Sept 29 – The ICEYE satellite purchased by Ukrainian volunteers with donations is already producing results on the battlefield, Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov has said.
"For obvious reasons, I can't reveal all the details, but just imagine: in the first two days of the satellite's operation, more than 60 units of military equipment were discovered, which the enemy tried to disguise in forest belts and other obstacles. It was found because ICEYE satellites collect information using Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technology. This equipment would be very difficult or impossible to detect with optical satellites. At the same time, the coordinates of the 'hidden' were promptly transferred for inflicting fire damage. In particular, in the area of Kreschenivka and Ukrainka settlements in Kherson region, as well as near Novoselivka in Donetsk region," Reznikov wrote on Facebook.
