Telecommunications equipment made by the company of Memphis Grizzlies owner Robert Pera is being used by the Russian military in its war against Ukraine, according to a report from Hunterbrook Media. Ubiquiti is a tech company that designs and sells long-range, wireless equipment . The company, based in New York City, was founded in 2003 by Pera, who became the owner of the Grizzlies in 2012.

"Without Ubiquiti, these drones in Russia, the ones leading to massacres, would not work," Hunterbrook reporter Sam Koppelman said on the "Pablo Torre Finds Out" podcast on Jan. 27. "They would be flying blind." The Hunterbrook investigation used a reporter posing as a Russian military procurement officer to contact Russian vendors and Ubiquiti distributors. The report alleges that numerous vendors agreed to sell the Ubiquiti-produced equipment.

He's hardly alone.

We profit off this war coming and going, then wring our hands about Evil Foreign Imperialism.
