Thanks to the purchased satellite of the Armed Forces will be able to destroy the enemy more effectively - Reznikov

He assured that the Ukrainian army will receive a significant advantage over the occupiers. "The Ukrainians again struck the world and implemented an unprecedented project," Reznikov said. "Now the Main Intelligence Directorate, the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other components of defense forces will have data on the Iceye satellite grouping, which collect information on Synthetic Aperture Radar.

It will help to cause the enemy more effectively and expel it faster, while maintaining our people's lives. " The minister informed that after the question of how to spend the money raised was the most effective, first of all, they came from the main task - creating a quality advantage of the Ukrainian army over the enemy.

The experts of the Ministry of Defense, together with the General Staff and GUR, analyzed the situation and identified "the best option that will allow our army to climb several steps up. " "The fact is that, since April, in negotiations with partners, we particularly emphasized the need to receive in the form of assistance or the purchase of a long -range high -precision weapon," Reznikov said.

"In June we began to receive not only MLRS systems of different types, but also high -precision systems projectiles for artillery. In order to optimally use this new potential and planning operations, the military command had to significantly increase intelligence capabilities not only at tactical but also at an operational level. ”The Minister of Defense reported that the Ukrainian army is now receiving satellite information from Western partners.

However, the data comes mainly from optical satellites, and they have technological restrictions from work at night, in cloudy or snowy weather, as well as in conditions where the battlefield is delayed by smoke. In addition, the data is delayed and not in all directions that are in one or the other moment are important to the Armed Forces. Now everything has changed.

Thanks to the Ukrainians who donated the bunch AI, it was possible to buy one satellite that uses SAR technology, which allows you to see at night and through clouds. It will work in favor of the Ukrainian defense forces around the clock. "Buy" is not an exaggeration, - Alexei Reznikov emphasized. - Satellite will receive information for the needs of Ukraine's defense as much as it will exist and perform its functions. " will start receiving information that could not be obtained before.

Moreover, it will be done quickly, when necessary and from there, where it is needed, "the minister said. According to him, intelligence will also use these partners in the work, and this combination will improve the quality of decision making. Iceye's choice Alexei Reznikov explained to what that it offers the best technologies in the market that meet the requirements of the General Staff and military intelligence.

However, the cost of services was superfluous, so at first the military did not even hope that it would be possible to attract this company. " , - the minister said. - Our military and intelligence did not hide joy. After all, a combination of quality intelligence with satellites and capabilities of high -precision weapons really creates new opportunities. " Aperture synthesis - allows to receive radar images of the Earth's surface and objects located on it, regardless of the weather and lighting.

The detail of the pictures obtained can be compared with aerial photography. Recall that August 18 Sergey Pritula reported that 600 million UAH, which Ukrainians collected For three drones of Bayraktar TB2, went to the acquisition of satellite and services of the company Iceye for intelligence activities of the Armed Forces. Ukraine has already received the apparatus on its full disposal. Purchase was made possible after the drone manufacturer decided to hand them to Ukrainians for free.
