While Europe warns that strikes on NATO territory may be staged as accidents, SpaceKnow Guardian keeps the analysis in your hands, on any satellite source available. Radar or optical, free or high-resolution. Guardian runs the same detection models on all of it, so your read of events never depends on a single source. Analytical independence […]

SpaceKnow Guardian captured a vehicle queue stretching roughly 7 kilometers toward the Kerch Bridge — the strategic link between Crimea and mainland Russia. On June 23, 2026, our analysis detected around 780 civilian vehicles backed up at the strait crossing near Kerch. The cause isn’t seasonal traffic. Fuel shortages, rolling blackouts, and a bridge that […]

SpaceKnow Guardian captured the Kronstadt dry dock hours after the strike — independent imagery of an event still being assessed. On June 3, 2026, Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces struck the Russian corvette Boykiy at the Veleshchynskyi Dry Dock in Kronstadt — roughly 1,100 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. The Boykiy, a Project 20380 guided-missile corvette […]

Satellite imagery confirms what drone footage shows. And then keeps watching. On May 15, Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces destroyed a Russian Be-200 amphibious aircraft at Yeysk airbase — one of Russia’s rarest naval aviation assets, irreplaceable under current sanctions. Drone footage confirmed the strike. Satellite imagery adds a different layer. Post-strike imagery of Yeysk shows […]

When a site is set up to mislead, SpaceKnow Guardian sees through the deception. SpaceKnow Guardian’s analysis of Russia’s Shagol airfield identified a newly added aircraft-shaped marking at the reported strike location — a painted fighter-jet silhouette consistent with a Su-34. The airfield, located nearly 1,700 km from Ukraine’s border, was reportedly struck by Ukrainian […]

Even through the dark smoke, Guardian keeps watch. Ukraine’s latest UAV attack on Russia’s Tuapse oil refinery caused another major fire near the Black Sea port. It was not an isolated strike. Earlier attacks on April 16 and April 20 had already disrupted refinery operations, affected port operations, led to oil-product cleanup across the city […]

SpaceKnow Guardian monitors high-risk regions 24/7, detecting events as they unfold and connecting them into actionable context. The recent Ukrainian strike on Novorossiysk shows why this approach matters. Satellite imagery confirms the UA drone strike affected Admiral Grigorovich-class frigate. In incidents like this, no single source provides a complete picture. Information is partial, delayed, or […]

Relying on a single source means missing the rest. SpaceKnow Guardian is a vendor-agnostic platform combining imagery from multiple providers, ensuring analytical independence. Until now, trade between Russia and North Korea has relied on maritime and rail routes, both relatively structured and easy to track. Now the two countries are building their first road bridge […]

In fast-moving situations, a single source of information is not enough. SpaceKnow’s Guardian platform integrates multiple satellite sources to track events as they unfold. Recent satellite images of Russia’s Ust-Luga port show the effects of repeated Ukrainian drone strikes on its oil export infrastructure. Over 10 days, the site was targeted several times, with photos […]
