Based on an analysis of Telegram posts and materials from open sources, HunterBook journalists identified at least nine Russian military units accused of war crimes, or individuals linked to these units, who are using Ubiquiti equipment.

A reporter posing as an officer responsible for military procurement contacted Russian suppliers and several official Ubiquiti distributors in various countries worldwide.

Nearly a dozen sellers agreed to sell the banned export equipment. One supplier even provided letters of appreciation, which, according to him, were received for supplying Ubiquiti equipment to the Russian military.

edit what is the big gotcha about HunterBooker shorting the company it is writing articles about and doing an investigation into? Of course that should be taken into account, but so should the seriousness of evidence here independent of the grey areas of HunterBooker. If the evidence is substantial, that line of response is tangential to the point.

    A reporter posing as an officer responsible for military procurement contacted Russian suppliers and several official Ubiquiti distributors in various countries worldwide.

    Nearly a dozen sellers agreed to sell the banned export equipment. One supplier even provided letters of appreciation, which, according to him, were received for supplying Ubiquiti equipment to the Russian military.

    Official distributors, including the American company Multilink Solutions, agreed to arrange delivery to third countries, such as Turkey, with the possibility of self-pickup – even after the customer explicitly mentioned being located in Russia.

    According to trade record analysis conducted by HunterBook, the total value of Ubiquiti shipments crossing into Russia increased by 66% after the full-scale invasion, despite sanctions and export controls imposed by the U.S. and the EU.
