Russia's Luch (Olymp) 5X satellite has been positioned near Eutelsat's 3B craft, raising concerns of eavesdropping. This activity has raised concerns among US and European military due to Russia's previous history of similar actions. In 2015, a predecessor of this Russian satellite came within 5kms of an Intelsat craft focused on the Middle East and Asia. Eutelsat 3B is located at 3° East and is optimized for broadband, data, telecom, and video services in a footprint spanning from Brazil to Central Asia. [a6372a67] [3d6db3d6]
