    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-
