France is offering intelligence to Ukraine, Defence Minister Sebastien Lecornu said on Thursday, a day after Washington said it was suspending intelligence sharing with Kyiv, an effort to step up pressure on Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

It’s great. However, from the french ministère des armées Link I count 3 types of satellites for a grand total around 8 including two dedicated to satcom. (assuming this is up to date, and that all informations are public) It’s not a bad number of a “medium-sized nation” but unless other European nation have the same capacities it’s definitely not enough to provide 24/7 intelligence to Ukraine
I know France have an agreement with Germany and Italy about sharing the data of their satellites. It’s most probably included in the data shared with Ukraine, directly by these countries or via the French agreement.
