Ubiquiti, a $33 billion tech empire, is led by Robert Pera, owner of the Memphis Grizzlies. He pledged to tighten controls on his products years ago — so why are Russian military units sending Ubiquiti vendors thank-you notes?

Is this why there’s never stock? It’s going to Russia?

I read the same about the OPi 5+. Apparently it used the Rockchip RK3588 which has a decent NPU for self controlled drones, so russia bought most of the stock. Their price went from ~150$ to infinite in a month.

Nah, according to the article this is mostly the WISP type stuff, particularly the Power and Nano beam products meant for Long Range Point to Point / Multi Point connections. This isn't routers / switches / etc.
