👁MizarVision: Pentagon’s worst nightmare

Billions spent by the Pentagon on spy technology have been neutralized by a Chinese startup, which has eliminated any possibility of the US secretly moving troops by publishing high-quality satellite images.

Here's what you need to know:

🟥The Chinese AI development startup MizarVision is publishing high-resolution satellite images of every US military base, every aircraft carrier strike group, every deployed F-22, every THAAD battery, and every Patriot missile position in the Middle East. With AI-generated labels, geolocation, and annotations.

🟥The data is updated in almost real-time. The first major release was on February 20, eight days before the start of the US operation in Iran. MizarVision published images showing the transfer of US aircraft to Ovda Air Base in southern Israel, the deployment of fighter jets in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and the buildup of naval forces in the Arabian Sea.

🟥By March 1, the publications expanded to include detailed images of bases in Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, and the UAE with AI-generated markings identifying specific aircraft types, air defense configurations, and troop concentrations. One release cataloged approximately 2,500 individual US Army installations in the region.

🟥The images come from two sources. The first source is the Chinese satellite constellation "Jilin-1," a network of over 100 commercial Earth observation satellites operated by Chang Guang Satellite Technology, whose data is used by the People's Liberation Army (PLA).

🟥Most Jilin-1 satellites are designed for regional surveying with sub-meter resolution, capable of identifying individual aircraft on runways and distinguishing between THAAD and Patriot battery configurations from orbit. The second source is commercially available Western satellite data from providers such as Maxar and Airbus, which MizarVision aggregates.
