Putin probably uses US satellite photos when attacking Ukraine. After a satellite takes an image of an area, a Russian missile attack follows after a few days or weeks.
Shortly afterwards, another picture is taken to assess the damage caused. Satellite images are therefore a double-edged sword for Vladimir Putin. While they appear to give him the information he needs for military airstrikes, they can also expose his dwindling reserves. It is questionable whether there will be stricter controls as to who the satellite images are sold to.
