How sure we are
Last data: 2026-06-15 15:04 UTC
Basis: Sentinel-2 optical + Sentinel-1 SAR (revisit ~5 days)
Limitation: Cloud cover can block optical imagery. SAR provides backup but lower interpretability.
How we know
We analyze Sentinel-2 optical imagery (10m resolution) and Sentinel-1 SAR radar of monitored military sites. Changes are detected by comparing current imagery against seasonal baselines.
