    Ukraine's Use of Satellite Imagery to Enhance Drone Strikes

    Ukraine is leveraging near-real-time commercial satellite imagery to bolster its drone operations. This technology, which can deliver images within 15 minutes to a few hours, enables drone teams to swiftly identify Russian troop positions, equipment, supply routes, and hidden objects. Consequently, Ukraine has seen improved strike accuracy, particularly in annexed Crimea and occupied territories. This shift has made Russian evasion more challenging and transformed satellite intelligence into a frontline tool.
