LeoLabs says a Russian satellite closed to roughly 500 meters of ICEYE-X36

LeoLabs said Russia's Kosmos 2612 maneuvered toward U.S.-registered ICEYE-X36 from 15 to 19 October 2026, closing from about 350 kilometers to under 5 kilometers by early 16 October and later to within roughly 500 meters, a separation it said is uncertain. ICEYE said it was aware of the pass and tracking it. LeoLabs said the Russian satellite was moving away by 19 October and that the maneuvers did not establish hostile intent. It told The War Zone it could not confirm a separate public estimate of 26 meters.
