Imagery from 7 August confirms that there are at least *4* pontoon ferries active around Kherson in the #Dnipro and Konka rivers. All four were visible at the same time today. Some context. 🧵1/ 
Sentinel-2 imagery from 7 August over Kherson was clear and showed all four pontoons in different locations at the same time. 2 were in use at the #AntonovskiyBridge, as expected, and two more were hiding in the Konka river, as discussed previously. 2/
The first hiding spot in the Konka river is at about 46.659 32.796. Pontoons can be seen stored here in Sentinel 2 imagery on 28 July, 2 August, and 7 August. This area was previously noticed by @DefMon3

And on August 1st satellite imagery caught the transfer of Russian military vehicles in a location not seen before, a few KM from the main vehicle bridge and existing known ferries. 6/

At the same time, Russian forces have been running checkpoints on the southern approach to the #antonovskybridge ferry. There are often lines of 40+ vehicles waiting at the checkpoint at 46.633 32.724. 7/
Summary: it looks like the Russians are regularly transporting military equipment from just north of #Oleshky, along the Konka river, to a ferry landing on the north side of the #Dnipro into #Kherson. This gives them additional capacity without making movements as widely known 8/
