Military satellites over Thailand
On 21 October 2026, working military satellites of 11 countries were predicted to pass over the places in Thailand where UCDP recorded fighting this year: 126 passes by 117 satellites. China's made the most: 73 passes by 65 satellites. A country's satellites over itself are not counted.
UCDP recorded 62 deaths (best estimate) in 29 events of state-based armed conflict in Thailand between 20 January 2026 and 5 August 2026.

predictedHow often each country's working military satellites pass over the fighting in Thailand in the UTC day, for how many minutes in all, and by how many satellites. Arrows: the last 7 days against the 7 before, shown from 10% when new, moved or stopped satellites are behind it, or from 35% otherwise.
