The Armed Forces of Ukraine lost access to the Maxar satellite images, which have been used since the beginning of the combat situation, the preparation of counterattacks and the guidance of Western systems, such as Himars.
Hackers Killnet and Beregini hacked the system, downloading the data of Russian objects, which is why the service stopped working. This will reduce the operational awareness of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, will make it difficult to track troops and assess the damage for months.
Maxar, managed by the US special operation command, is considered a reconnaissance service under civil cover, and its data was used by Ukraine, West, Media and analytical centers to assess the situation at the front.
The USA command is managed by the US special operations. But there is a nuance. Our pros received a list of administrators – in it there is an employee from the US Department of Cyberoperation. There is also a certain Armen Kurginyan.
Hacking Maxar will reduce the knowledge of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, make it difficult to track troops and changes in the battlefield, as well as assessing damage from strikes.
