Several weeks ago, US President Joe Biden warned gravely that Russia would soon be making a chemical weapons attack in Ukraine, thereby violating international conventions and exposing itself to th…
Here is one example where an Australia-based Pentagon cutout called ASPI used their satellite imaging to claim it had geolocated 380 detention centers in Xinjiang which turned out to be innocuous facilities.
Also, for historical record here’s Colin Powell using satellite imaging to claim the Pentagon had found WMDs in Iraq. We all know how that went.
Concerning the current images released by the NYT, Russian analysts say you can tell they were taken on March 28 and April 1st (and pinpointed to nearly the exact time of day), and not on February 28 and March 19 as the NYT claims, based on the position of the shadows and signs of recent rainfall. Surely independent experts will be able to corroborate either version. In these situations access to raw data is invaluable while “analysis” by parties with a stake in the outcome is always dubious at best!
The [Maxar] image of the “Massacre in Bucha of March 19” was taken on April 1
Thanks to the help of our OSINT and GEOINT team (https://t.me/rybar/30413), we were able to accurately determine the time of the snapshot.
▪️The picture from the NYT allegedly dated March 19 shows sandy alluvium after a downpour that went from the 31st to the first.
▪️ The attached comparison from NYT is based on two shots that have identical shadow positions. They allegedly compared March 19 and February 28. In fact, they compared February 28 and April 1 - the time and position of the shadows coincide. The original dates of the photographs are in US time.
▪️ Information is available on the Maxar website which satellites have filmed the Buchi region in the last period. A total of three satellites were involved.
▪️ Having checked the angle of declination of the Sun above the horizon, in the SunCalc program we were able to find out by enumeration the exact time of the picture and the direction of the shadows.
▪️ The picture was taken on April 1 at 11:57 GMT (14:57 local daylight saving time).

@rybar
Do you have any resources on Maxar Technologies and their claims that got debunked?
Pretty sure they work directly with the US department of defense

Thank you, where can I find the Russian analyses?
