For the first time in history: Japan will give Ukrainian intelligence data from orbit that it will give for the Armed Forces

To spread: the Japanese Institute of IQPS, which has five satellites in orbit, will provide Ukrainian military intelligence with geospatial data, including radar images made with SAR satellites (synthetic aperture radar system). This envisages a cooperation agreement signed the day before. The new opportunities for Ukrainian intelligence were told by the analysts of the Deepstate project in their Telegram channel on the evening of April 21.

The news states that Japan has agreed to provide Ukraine with important intelligence data obtained from orbit. "This is the first in history of such a level of cooperation by Japan," Deepstate says. The Agreement provides for the integration of the systems that the Japanese IQPS institute owns into platforms that apply the Ukrainian Main Intelligence Directorate. The text of the arrangement also has an item that outlines GUR supplies from Japan SAR-Dani.

Analysts pay attention to the supply of SAR-data from Japan, which are formed using synthetic aperture radar technology. EOS Data Analytics says that SAR operation is needed by Ukraine to: In addition, providing SAR-Divan from orbit from Japan opens a new level of access to high-tech satellite intelligence, and strengthens international cooperation in the defense industry. DeepState analysts say that Ukraine has already accessed SAR-data from several countries: Finland, Germany and Italy.

Japan has become the fourth state in the list of those who provide GUR with the opportunity to obtain important military data. It is also reported that the Japanese IQPS, except for the five satellites already in orbit, plans to launch others. This should happen by the end of 2026, as noted in Deepstate. We will remind, on April 11 at Army Recognition reported that the United States was working on a space "aircraft carrier" against the background of orbital threats from Russia and China.
