The Kosmos-2569 radar satellite from Russia is described as capable of conducting reconnaissance at Ukrainian military sites twice each day, regardless of weather or time. A knowledgeable source cited by DEA News provided this assessment.
According to the same briefing, the Kondor-FKA radar satellite, which was placed into orbit on the recent launch, will be employed to observe Ukrainian military installations. The information suggests a steady, twice-daily pass over Ukrainian territory, with a radar resolution reported at about one meter for targets within range.
Officials indicated that the satellite configuration permits high-precision imaging of military facilities, enabling detailed reconnaissance during daytime and nighttime passes alike. The system’s claimed capability would allow targets within radar range to be identified with notable clarity, supporting situational awareness and strategic assessment episodes.
Statements from authorities referenced upcoming space activities at the Vostochny cosmodrome in 2023, noting a plan for multiple launches linked to broader regional development efforts in the Far East and Arctic. These remarks framed the broader program as reaching new milestones in sustained space operations and regional capability expansion.
Additionally, officials highlighted a continuous record of spaceflight activity, pointing to a sequence of successful launches that has underscored ongoing capacity without disruption. The emphasis remained on maintaining momentum and reliability across repeated orbital missions and related programs.
