Innovations in the Ukraine war: Satellite monitors Russian logistics and troop movements in Crimea
The ICEYE satellite has now become indispensable in the war in Ukraine. The Ukrainian military can also use it to track the movements of the Russians or keep an eye on the logistics of the Russian military – for example over the Kerch Bridge. Without the observer from space, the military would be blind.
The war in Ukraine reveals the technological progress in warfare. Innovations such as satellites, drones on land, at sea and in the air are determining the war in Ukraine. Russia’s Black Sea Fleet suffered heavy losses – even though Ukraine did not have its own fleet after the annexation of the Crimea 2014. Technological progress makes it possible. But as soon as there is a new development on one side, the other follows suit. It remains a game of cat and mouse.
