The possible pontoon loading area (46.631 32.756) near #Oleshky #Kherson (spotted by @DefMon3 & @OAlexanderDK) was empty during a satellite pass on Thursday. However, one small craft was captured moving up the #Konka river at 46.6378 32.7684. It's a busy place. Read on... 1/

Looking along the #Konka for the past week, I think there was another pontoon hidden to the east of the launch point in the marsh on 2022-08-02 at 46.6362 32.7709. It's SPOT imagery, so it's not super sharp, but it looks like a pontoon measuring about 60x12m and small boat. 2/

Here are three views of the same area of the marsh. It's pretty clear that something was there on Aug 2nd, but not Aug 4th or July 27th. Might be another area to watch to see if pontoons are stored here regularly. 3/

Looking back, we can also find Russian military vehicles in various locations over the past week. Here's an overview of where they've been seen near #Oleshky. I think they're stationed near the base of the bridge, and in the industrial area east of the pontoon launch point. 4/

Just south of the #antonovskybridge, around 46.6341 32.7244, the Russians have a camp, with a visible tent, vehicles, and fighting positions. They likely occupy the buildings as well. 5/

700m east of the pontoon launch point we see a large vehicle - possibly a truck carrying a pontoon - approaching a warehouse at 46.6340 32.7667. Possible storage? 6/

Other vehicles recently seen about 700-1000m east of the pontoon launch point. 7/

@DefMon3 @OAlexanderDK Looks like @Satellogic had an image 3 minutes earlier and helped me find where the boat launched from (46.6327, 32.7580). It came from right next to the pontoon launch point.
