For attacks in Ukraine, Russia uses satellite images purchased in the USA - media

Journalists consider too much coincidences when the photos of rockets in Ukrainian cities begin after the photo. For the task of strikes in Ukraine, Russia's winged rockets, most likely, uses satellite images received from US companies. This is discussed in the material of The Atlantic, citing a source in the military sphere. It is noted that the sequence is quite clear: first the satellite takes pictures, and within a few days or weeks it is known about the arrival there.

Sometimes it happens that another satellite additionally makes the image, probably to check the degree of harm. "The indicator of coincidence, when the photos begin, is too big to be considered a coincidence," the authors of the material emphasized. The authors of the material emphasize that coincidences still occur, but suspicious cases becomes more, because a large number of companies engaged in satellite images offer a list of archival images, which indicate the date and coordinates.

It is there that you can see tens of thousands of images made in Ukraine with suspicious patterns. As of now, hundreds of such cases are known. However, in Ukraine, they say that they continue to observe the spans of Russian satellites, and not so long ago it was believed that Russia would not be able to use the satellites of allies for its benefit. "It was difficult for us to imagine six months ago that private companies would sell satellite images in sensitive areas.

However, it is not easy to believe in the accident of these coincidences," - says the Ukrainian high -ranking official in the military sphere. The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine also does not exclude that the Russian Federation can buy satellite images in the United States through third -party companies, and that these images "can be used in armed aggression against Ukraine". We will remind that on January 19 this year on the network showed images of the Ship of the Ship "Tarantul" in the Crimea.
