Spacety is a Beijing-based company with its international headquarters in Luxembourg. It operates small satellites and satellite services. In early February, the US authorities blacklisted it.
After the restrictions were introduced, Spacety representatives stated that they adhere to international sanctions against the Russian Federation and that they do not maintain ties with the aggressor country.
According to US intelligence reports, China is also preparing to transfer kamikaze drones to the Russian Federation. Negotiations between Moscow and Beijing on the price and volume of equipment continue. Before, according to media reports, the Chinese side supplied Moscow only with helmets, body armor, and also shared satellite images.
Recall that a spy device with a Chinese-made SIM card was found in the car of ministers from the UK. According to journalists, such SIM-cards allow for years to track the movements of government officials.
Earlier, Focus reported that the first satellite image of the Machulishchi airfield had been published. According to the monitoring group “Belarusian Gayun”, the A-50 radar aircraft has changed its usual location.
