The analysts analyzed the latest satellite images and identified the likely crash sites of the recently downed Russian planes.

Analysts from the Dnipro OSINT with Harbuz group stated that traces of fire on satellite images helped identify the crash sites.

On February 17, Lieutenant General Mykola Oleshchuk, Commander of the Ukrainian Air Force, demonstrated the spot on the map where a Russian Su-34/35 fighter jet was shot down.

Mykola Oleshchuk published the location using the international Cospas-Sarsat satellite-aided search and rescue system.

In case of accidents, it notifies the location of the pilots’ personal radio beacons. The picture shows that four Cospas-Sarsat signals were triggered. On this day, the Ukrainian Defense Forces reported that they had shot down two Russian Su-34 fighter-bombers (twin-seat) and one Su-35 fighter jet (single-seat).

Although the Russians deny that the system is working with their pilots, the geolocation from the video of the Su-34/35 crash in the village of Diakove matches the information from the Cospas-Sarsat system.

Recently, analysts from Dnipro OSINT with Harbuz released and analyzed satellite images from the crash site of the other planes.

The first picture shows that a fire broke out in a field on the outskirts of the village of Diakove on February 17 after the plane went down.

“A picture of the same burned field after the downing of the Su-34, which was so stubbornly denied by the Russian military. The location of the fire and the location of the Сospas-Sarsat also coincide,” the analysts said.

Another downed Su-34/35 went down near the village of Novoielanchyk near Amvrosiivka, which is also on the Cospas-Sarsat map.

Satellite images showed that there were two fresh fires near the village.

On February 19, Ukrainian defense forces again shot down Russian aircraft.

A Russian Su-35 fighter jet crashed in the Sea of Azov near the village of Rybatske. Helicopters were sent to search for the pilot, who was caught on video.

“Russian rescuers reported that the Su-35 pilot was drifting face down in the Sea of Azov. And the Cospas-Sarsat system again tells us where to look for the Su-34 crew,” Mykola Oleshchuk said at the time.

This time, the Cospas-Sarsat system also showed the crash site of one of the downed Russian Su-34 fighter-bomber, which fell near Mariupol.

This time, fresh satellite imagery also revealed an area in the field where a fire had recently broken out at the crash site.

“Picture No. 2 shows the crash site of the Su-34 with the subsequent fire in the neighborhood,” the analysts noted.

As previously reported, the Ukrainian Air Force said it had shot down 10 Russian military aircraft in 10 days: nine Su-34s and Su-35s, as well as a rare A-50 Airborne Early Warning and Control Aircraft.
