NEW from @hntrbrkmedia: Equipment from the US tech giant Ubiquiti is a major enabler of the Russian army in Ukraine.
We spend months infiltrating the Russian military's supply chain, unearthing military documents and other evidence that show how Russia relies on $UI equipment.
A Ukrainian officer estimated ~80% of Russian radio bridges they’ve seen on the front lines are Ubiquiti devices. “There is no alternative,” both Ukrainian and Russian sources independently told us.
Hunterbrook’s monthslong investigation found Ubiquiti wireless bridges — banned from export to Russia under U.S. and EU laws, are serving as critical communication nodes for a Starlink and SATCOM-starved Russian military.
Multiple European politicians have started to openly call for reciprocal tariffs on the U.S., along with potentially banning U.S. companies from the European market.
“In that case, I would then call on the European Union to activate its anti-coercion instrument, that is to say, reciprocal customs duties and the exclusion of American companies from European public procurement markets”
Yes, the US and allied nations have an existing presence in the Middle East! Tankers are usually flying over Iraq to support the ongoing fight against ISIL, and they broadcast ADS-B out.
Transport aircraft regularly make the hop over, but no significant surge has been seen.
Putin says that overnight, Ukrainian forces attacked his residence in Novgorod Oblast with 91 drones.
Before that claim had been published, Russian authorities reported this morning that they had downed 41 drones over the entire Oblast. Ukraine denies the attack.
The area is heavily defended, with nearly two dozen Pantsir SAM systems, along with other longer-range SAM assets and EW.
