My first thread:
Around April 18, the video of Ukrainian prisoners of war appeared on social media (see first screenshot).
This was no surprise that geolocation of that object is valuable. (1/11)
Next video appeared a day later (see second screenshot). The surroundings seemed to match the first video. Obviously, due to the fact that barbed wire (first video) and tower (second video) is visible it must be prison or a penal colony. (2/11)
On the same day video showing same facility appeared in RUS media. It gave more clues about the structure of penal colony. (smotrim.ru/article/2706278)
So how it was geolocated? (3/11)
First the schematic map of the object was prepared (see drawing).
The possible buildings, additional information about trees and antenna, that can be seen on RUS media footage. (4/11)
Than search started. As it was claimed that the place is under the control of self-proclaimed DNR the easiest way was to check all prisons and penal colonies in Donetsk oblast, Ukraine and also Luhansk oblast was potentially interesting. (5/11)
Here came the list of penal colonies in Ukraine published in 2017 by The Ministry of Justice of Ukraine (open source). After checking all possible locations in Donetsk and Luhansk oblast, there was only ONE that looked appropriate. (6/11)
This is the part where the schematic drawing helped a lot (see attached image). The satellite imagery show that there is a good match between proposed drawing and one of the penal objects near Olenivka (Donetsk oblast). Even the orientation on the map was appropriate. (7/11)
Here I presented the results and proofs of the geolocation (see attached images). @GeoConfirmed
First image: 47.82658, 37.70989.
Second image: 47.82703, 37.71049.
Third image: 47.82692, 37.71106.
All of objects from the footages can be found in this facility. (8/11)
For the people who are interested I upload two first videos. (9/11)
Second video. (10/11)
Thanks for your attention and sorry for my poor english (I'm still learning).
Good luck everyone in your #GEOINT and #OSINT hobbies. (11/11)
