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 don’t know the specifics of how it applies to Starlink, but I work in telecom and just about everything I do is ITAR controlled. I don’t even make the telecom devices, just equipment to test them.
