Starlink terminals sold in Russia despite Musk's denial
www.newsweek.com
A self-identified "official distributor" of China drone giant DJI is selling the terminals on a Russian website amid the tech's alleged use in Ukraine.

SpaceX’s Starlink user terminals are being openly sold in Russia, though CEO Elon Musk has denied knowledge of any such sales in the country.

The terminals, which link users with the Starlink satellite constellation are available on the Chinese company DJI’s website in Russia.

The Shenzhen-based firm is better known as one of the world’s leading drone producers. Soon after Russia began its February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, DJI announced it would temporarily suspend business in both countries pending “compliance assessments.”

    I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise.

    (Well actually I’m surprised it’s DJI, they could actually face sanctions if the US wanted to. I wouldn’t be surprised if it were a pop up shop.)

      Sanction how? Both sides are buying all the Mavics they can get their hands on. DGI is the bell of the ball.
