Russian Military Satellite Manoeuvred Within Metres of US Commercial Satellite Aiding Ukraine, Analysts Call It a First and a Warning
A Russian military satellite, Cosmos 2612, recently manoeuvred to within approximately 500 metres of ICEYE-X36, a US-registered commercial radar satellite believed to provide intelligence to Ukraine. Analysts describe this as the first time a country has conducted such a close manoeuvre against a commercial satellite without consent, viewing it as a warning to Kyiv's backers. Some reports suggest the distance was less than 30 metres. The Finnish company ICEYE has supplied radar imagery to Ukraine since 2022. Experts warn this indicates Russia may not distinguish between commercial and military satellites as potential targets, raising concerns about data interception or service disruption.
