Russia plans to launch a reconnaissance satellite "Khayam" and use it for the war against Ukraine.

The Washington Post writes about it.

The satellite has a system that will allow Iran to monitor objects in the Persian Gulf almost continuously, and its camera has a resolution of 1.2 meters. It is worse than that of American satellites, but for Iranian intelligence it is a significant step forward.
