Google search does not prove anything. Have you seen any images sattelite made of russiest positions in ukrainian media? I'm not. For example illegal russiest Crimea bridge after any attack was always showed with US Maxar satellite help.

1. Because ICEYE is not an optical telescope. Imagery it provides is more like electromagnetic "echolocation" data. It has to be transformed and processed to give some intel.

2. Foundation bought one satellite, but got an access untill the end of war to the whole constellation of satellites that are already in orbit(answer to pre-edited "why not see rocket make brrr").

Example of ukrainian source.

Thanks for the link. However if minister of defence was involved here, the people who funded this project should expect a dirty deal. Not sure if it was realy required for ZSU, if NATO provides all required satellite intel during this war and if all the amount of money paid was reasonable price.
