Geolocation of Russian soldier heading south (!) in IFV and passing bus stop in #Suvorove, #Crimea.
Source: t.me/separ_13/3274
Bus stop coordinates: 46.091765 33.698906
@GeoConfirmed with help from @stillesich
Proof in thread. 1/
For reference: line of sight from smokestack to pole next to bus stop (see rest of thread)
2/ Image
Smokestack and adjacent building are good match for shape, color, and angle at 00:06. Credit goes to @Peter_0_0_g for finding the smokestack.

Now, starting from the very first frame, these two buildings at 46.093147 33.697102 seem like a nice match. Note: Selfie videos have a mirroring effect, that's why the buildings appear on opposite sides of the road (h/t @ve5ukka).
4/ ImageImage
At 00:02, a narrow dirt path running parallel to the main road ends, right where a dirt road perpendicular to the main road begins.
5/ ImageImage
Bus stop and cross walk at 00:05. The bus stop has been repainted to more Russian colors, I'm assuming after annexation (#CrimeaIsUkraine). Credit goes to @stillesich for finding the bus stop and photo. ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A1%D1…

This tree right next to the bus stop, visible at 00:05, is a nice match to the tree in the photo, with the trunk splitting into two branches near the ground. (h/t @nicomen)
7/ ImageImage
The line of sight from the smoke stack to the pole runs through a gap between the trees after the bus stop. A dirt road running parallel to the main road can be seen next to the pole at 00:06.
8/ ImageImage
A dirt road perpendicular to the main road after the bus stop can be seen at 00:11.
9/ ImageImage
This was a group effort, so thank you to everyone who helped. @stillesich performed the hardest task of actually finding the bus stop. Additional thanks to @Peter_0_0_g @vladberesh @B44_er @VoldemortessaLJ @nicomen @ve5ukka and anyone I forgot to mention.

Tutorial thread on how to overlay Sentinel-2 imagery in Google Earth Pro and blend them into an animated slide show using PowerPoint. (1/8)
In this animation by @bradyafr, high-resolution Google Earth imagery serves as a reference to help the audience understand what they’re seeing in the subsequent low-resolution imagery from Sentinel-2. (2/8)
I wanted to make something similar for this cultural center that was destroyed in Novopetrivka, Kherson Oblast two weeks ago during the AFU offensive in the region. (3/8)

Thread on why the @GeoConfirmed map, when combined with Google Earth PRO and @OpenSreetMap infrastructure data, is a powerful geolocation tool for those researching the war in Ukraine. 1/12 Image
For this example, I'll be using the Google Maps version of the GeoConfirmed map (tinyurl.com/2uas5rjp), and will manually import its associated KMZ file into Earth PRO. I think this parred-down version is a bit cleaner for geolocation. 2/12 ImageImage
You’ll want your map to refresh regularly, so in Earth PRO, click “Add -> Network Link” and select your KMZ file, entering something like “GeoConfirmed” for “Name:” Go to “Refresh” and change “Time-Based Refresh” to “Periodically”, setting the time period to once every hour. 3/12 ImageImage

Tutorial 🧵 on how to import infrastructure such as power lines into Google Earth Pro from OpenStreetMaps using Overpass Turbo. 1/6 Image
Go to overpass-turbo.eu and click “Wizard”. For power lines in Ukraine, for example, enter “power=line in Ukraine” into the prompt and click “build query”. 2/6 Image
This will generate code for Overpass Turbo’s native database language to query the results. Change “timeout:25” to “timeout:100” to give the system more time to query this relatively large dataset. Now click “Run”. 3/6 Image

Do any residents of #Херсон #Kherson know the location of this bus stop? I'm trying to geolocate Russian soldiers in this video. ImageImageImage
