🇷🇺🛰🇺🇸 According to Axios, US space intelligence firm LeoLabs says Kosmos 2612's approach to ICEYE-X36 appears deliberate. On Friday the two were about 5 km apart, after being more than 300 km apart just a day earlier.
CSIS space fellow Clayton Swope described the distance as essentially "bumper-to-bumper," while Integrity ISR analyst Greg Gillinger called it a purposeful engagement with a Western satellite supporting Ukraine.
A US space law professor noted countries generally keep at least around 10 km apart, since closer than that the risk of collision rises sharply.
The Pentagon and ICEYE both declined to comment. A Ukrainian official confirmed Kiev uses ICEYE's capabilities but claimed it's unclear whether X36 specifically serves Ukraine, even though the US Space Force has itself described it as a radar satellite used by Ukraine for imagery intelligence.
