WHAT DOES SPY-SATELLITE GIVE AZERBAIJAN?
Turan Information Agency, Azerbaijan
July 3, 2014 Thursday
Launching by Azerbaijan its reconnaissance satellite is an important
milestone in strengthening the potential and the technical intelligence
system of the country. This is the general opinion of military
experts. One of the former officers in the field of technical
intelligence, on condition of anonymity, said that Azerbaijan now
has become virtually independent in the matters of cosmic intelligence.
Until now such data could come from the USA, Russia, Turkey or another
country having spy satellites. Now there is not such a need, and if to
believe the post of the French company which has launched a satellite,
Baku can follow what is happening on the ground in real time. "It
is clear that we are talking about the situation on the front line
in the war zone in Karabakh, and on the border with Armenia. Even
the territory of Armenia itself now is not a secret for Azerbaijan,"
said the expert.
This system with a well- developed interaction with the ground forces
(artillery, air force, special forces, etc.) can significantly enhance
a military capability and effectiveness of the use of conventional
military capabilities.
Earlier data on the deployment and movement of enemy forces and
facilities can be noted by using the radio intercept infiltration
intelligence groups or through agents, but now it will all be seen
from space.
"From now on, an important task will be the correct and timely use
of the information obtained. This raises a significant maneuver to
deceive the enemy," said the expert.
However, this allows the satellite to control not only the situation
in Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia, but also in the Caspian Sea, in the
territory of neighboring countries.
Note that this winter Turan correspondent was able to visit the company
Arianspace in the city of Toulouse, where a group of journalists
from Azerbaijan were demonstrated capabilities of spy-satellites. For
example, they were shown photographs and video footage taken from an
altitude of several hundred kilometers, enabling the monitoring of
the football match as on TV.
But the most impressive fact is that from the satellite could be seen
underground facilities and that was under the roofs of buildings. The
representative of the company said that the capabilities of the
reconnaissance satellite are not limited. -02Â-
