"This year, Ukraine will receive much more high resolution satellite imagery from SAR satellites. The military command will be able to determine the areas to be imaged depending on the intensity of hostilities," the Defense Ministry said. 

As indicated, this was made possible with the support of the German government. As part of the cooperation, Ukraine's Ministry of Defense, German industrial giant Rheinmetall and international SAR satellite company ICEYE have reportedly signed a contract to use satellite data for Ukraine's defense.  

SAR satellites are said to be able to generate images with ultra-high detail regardless of weather conditions or time of day. "This will help the Ukrainian Defense Forces improve situational awareness on the battlefield and make effective management decisions. The military will have access to the information resource of the entire ICEYE satellite constellation," the statement said.

"We are expanding our intelligence capabilities through cooperation with international partners. Thanks to this contract, our military will have access to high-precision satellite imagery with full coverage of the combat zone. The command will be able to independently determine the priority areas of observation and quickly receive up-to-date data through the ICEYE satellite system. By introducing advanced space reconnaissance technologies, we are creating a technological advantage that increases combat capability and protects our military," commented Defense Minister Rustem Umerov.
