shite like this is why Musk is the person Federov is meeting with, not Trump.

He's there to try to meet Musk. As his last meeting with Musk went very well - Musk shut Starlink access for the Russians - there is hope that some arrangement may be made to get Ukrainian Starlink access to Russian territory. This is of critical importance to stopping the current ballistic missile campaign against Ukrainian cities.

If not 'official' access, possibly an announced 'limited' access. This would only be a cover for the ICEYE feed bleeding over into Russian territory, which seems to be happening already, although in a limited range. The 'people's satellite' :lol:

In any case, Musk will want to meet with Federov to get updated on events since their last meeting. Getting the meeting is a major accomplishment by itself.

As an arrested development, classic Dunning-Kruger case who gets his opinions from Russian feeds, Musk will resist Federov's proposals. But it's a start. Exposing Musk to adult, emotionally mature behavior can only be good. Especially for the long term.

Former Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov says his planned US trip is primarily tied to work with the Eastern Europe Foundation and new projects. He also plans meetings in Europe and the US to attract funding and investment for defense. Fedorov denied reports that he intends to seek US political support, saying Ukraine's internal questions should be decided at home. He said no one outside Ukraine should impose decisions on domestic issues

And coincidentally, also in Samara Oblast, Wildberries competitor Ozon was hit.

---

Ukrainian strike drones hit an Ozon logistics hub in Chapayevsk, Samara region, with a fire reported across 135,000 square meters. The moment one drone hit the facility was captured on video. The strike comes as Ukraine shifts from Wildberries to Ozon, Russia's second-largest e-commerce player, which controls about 30% of the market.

Ukraine expands partnership with ICEYE

---

The agreement provides the customer within Ukraine’s Ministry of Defence with expanded access to ICEYE’s high-resolution SAR [Synthetic Aperture Radar satellite] imagery to support faster, day and night, all-weather tactical decision-making for national security.

Helsinki, Finland – January 19, 2026 - ICEYE, the leader in European defense tech and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite operations, and a customer within the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine have signed a new agreement to significantly expand their cooperation in space-based intelligence.

The agreement ensures that the Ministry of Defence continues to receive a high volume of high-resolution satellite imagery through ICEYE’s world-leading SAR constellation, supporting the Ukrainian Armed Forces with persistent situational awareness on tactical timelines.

---

quote:

---

ICEYE’s technology is capable of high-resolution imagery of up to 16 cm from its Generation 4 satellites and large-footprint modes such as Scan Wide, which covers areas of 200 km by 300 km. Additionally, ICEYE’s electronic beam-steering technology enables dozens of high-resolution scenes captured in only minutes of satellite imaging time.

---

As of early December, 2025, 62 X-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites have been launched since the first satellite in 2018

---

---

The ground resolution of the product ranges from 0.25 m to 3 m depending on acquisition configuration and dwell time (ICEYE US, 2025b). Since 2021, ICEYE has also offered a number of interferometry-capable repeat-pass acquisitions, known as the Ground Track Repeat (GTR) data.

---

The continuous growth of the ICEYE constellation capacity, in addition to other commercial SAR providers, represents a significant [originally intended] contribution to rapid response capabilities for natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, and volcanic activities with ultra-high-resolution and frequent-repeat observations.[To say nothing of a NoRK TEL moving into firing position...]

The strengthened cooperation between Rheinmetall and SAR satellite company ICEYE, announced in September 2024, is already bearing fruit. To meet Ukraine‘s urgent demands for SAR satellite reconnaissance capabilities, Rheinmetall and Ukraine, supported by the German government, signed a contract. The agreement further increases the SAR data and other support Ukraine has been receiving from ICEYE during the war.

Since early October 2024, Ukraine receives new satellite images taken by ICEYE's SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellites, under the collaboration between Rheinmetall and ICEYE.

SAR satellites offer the advantage over conventional satellites that they can generate high-resolution images regardless of weather conditions or time of day. These are very detailed and make even the smallest objects on the earth's surface identifiable. This can bring decisive advantages for the armed forces in terms of surveillance, target acquisition, reconnaissance or their own positioning on the battlefield.

---

quote:

---

In 2025, ICEYE partnered with French group Safran.AI to apply artificial intelligence to SAR and optical data, including for Ukrainian military intelligence. The approach aims to reduce latency between satellite tasking, image capture, and operational decisions, reflecting how space intelligence is being pushed down to the tactical layer in active conflict.

---

quote:

---

Unfortunately, the ICEYE imagery is technically limited to Ukrainian territory. But "people's satellites" are taking images of thousands of Ru military sites, including one in Belgorod.

---

quote:

---

Throughout using the “people’s satellite” and access to the ICEYE satellite constellation, Ukrainian specialists have taken a total of 4173 images of enemy targets, including:

370 – airfields;
238 – air defense and radio reconnaissance positions;
153 – oil depots and fuel warehouses;
147 – missile, aviation weapon, and ammunition depots;
17 – naval bases.

Another Christmas gift to the Turkish yards. From earlier this month. Owner is GR Ocean Shipping, Hong Kong. In ballast, so it was enroute to a Russian port when hit.

We can look into the future of this war by watching what happens to these TELs. These HAVE to be destroyed. Now. Top priority, stop everything else until this is achieved. If they aren't, the Russians will have regained the initiative.

Another large ballistic missile attack on Kyiv last night. If this continues, the city will be turned into the next Grozny/Aleppo/Bakhmut.

Here is a map of strike points this month. In addition,
