You can get a better sense of the convoy's massive scope.
A new satellite view of the 40-mile-long Russian invasion convoy headed for the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv shows just how huge the assemblage of tanks and artillery haulers really is.on Feb. 28, four days after Russia's invasion of Ukraine began. The Virginia-based company has now stitched those photos together to create a 3D video, which provides a better sense of the convoy's massive scope.
Maxar georegistered the WorldView-3 imagery on top of a 3D model of the Kyiv area. The resulting data"has an absolute accuracy in all directions of 3 meters [10 feet], which means that objects seen in the video are physically within that 3 meters zone in the real world," a public relations company that represents Maxar wrote in an emailed statement about the new video.
"This unique view, created with space-based data, allows viewers to have a better understanding of the on-the-ground situation when the area is not readily accessible," the statement continued.
