Why this matters

Activity at military sites — vehicle movement, construction, equipment staging — can indicate preparation, rotation, or capability changes.

How sure we are

Last data: 2026-05-27 15:02 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.

Primary source: Copernicus Sentinel-2 / Sentinel-1
