Technologies that were considered unattainable. Reznikov told how a satellite purchased by the shelter will help the Armed Forces

Defense Minister Alexei Reznikov spoke about the benefits of Iceye's satellite, which the Sergei Pritula Foundation bought money from the People's Bajracar. On Facebook on Friday, August 19, Reznikov wrote that thanks to the satellite of the Defense Force of Ukraine, new opportunities received qualitatively. He told how after Baykar's decision not to pay for three drones, which Ukrainians raised money, Sergei Pritula suggested directing the funds raised for other needs of the Armed Forces.

Video Day Minister noted that the experts of the department, together with the General Staff of the Armed Forces and Ukrainian intelligence, analyzed the situation and stopped at the best version, which will "allow our army to climb several steps up.

" According to him, since April, in negotiations with partners, Ukraine emphasized that she needed a long -term high -precision weapon, and in June there was a "tectonic shift" - MLRS systems and high -precision shells for the artillery began to come to our country. "In order to optimally use this new potential and planning operations, the military command needed to significantly increase intelligence opportunities not only at a tactical but also at an operational level," Reznikov said.

According to the head of the Ministry of Defense, the data that Ukraine receives from partners is received mostly from optical satellites, which have their technical restrictions on work at night and in poor visibility, are transmitted with some delay and not all areas that are important for Ukraine's defenders.

He emphasized that now the SAR-Satellite, which can "see" at night and through clouds, will work around the clock in favor of Ukraine, and the Ukrainian army will start receiving the data that was unavailable before it. "Buy" is not an exaggeration. It [satellite] will obtain information for the needs of Ukraine's defense as much as it will exist and perform its functions.

Secondly, at the same time access to the whole constellation of satellites was purchased, our military will be able to use the database of their photos during the year. Third, the decoding of the pictures will be organized in such a way that the data comes as quickly as possible, ”the minister explained. He added that Iceye's satellite technologies were "real" space ", but their cost was unattainable and the General Staff with military intelligence did not hope that they could use them.

“In the end, thanks to the Ukrainian entrepreneur Maxim Polyakov in the process of negotiations, such conditions were obtained in the negotiation process that made a space dream of reality. Our military and intelligence did not hide joy . . . Soon every Himars, M270 or Mars II, as well as every gun or SAU with high -precision shells will be able to destroy the enemy more effectively, ”Reznikov summed up.

Sergiy Pritula Charitable Foundation bought a satellite for the money collected under the project. After the Ukrainians have raised 600 million UAH for drones in three days, the Baykar manufacturer reported that she would send three barking to the Ukrainian Front for free. Iceye will provide the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine with full access to all the capabilities of one of its satellites, which is in orbit in the region. Ukraine will also access the constellation of SAR satellites.
