[Regnum] Western specialists involved in processing satellite data for Ukraine have left the country. This was reported by Time magazine.
According to a source close to the Ukrainian General Staff, a group of specialists who helped the Ukrainians receive and process intelligence data from satellites have left Kyiv. These people worked at the military headquarters in Kyiv.
"There is no one left," the source said.
It is also noted that the possible termination of cooperation with Kiev in the field of satellite data exchange by Washington may be compensated by the Europeans. Intelligence agencies of some European countries have already offered their services. But it will not be possible to quickly organize a replacement, since it takes time to deploy European systems, the publication noted.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, after the scandal in the Oval Office involving the head of the Kiev regime, Volodymyr Zelensky, the United States suspended military aid to Kiev. The United States also imposed a temporary ban on the UK transferring American intelligence to Kiev.
The US National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency reported on March 7 that it had temporarily suspended the Kiev regime's access to satellite images. The Ukrainian Armed Forces were actively using these images to adjust artillery fire and identify targets for drones.

No worries, dudes! There is an open source army of GIS and image processing nerds willing to do the job. Just give us the data.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces were actively using these images to adjust artillery fire and identify targets for drones.
Identifying targets is a task that can be done offline, but adjusting artillery fires is a real-time task. That suggests some interesting capabilities.
