Yes, and a close-up of one of the antenna looks pretty identical to a by now familiar Ubiquiti radio bridge antenna model.

Yes, right down to the mounting hardware.

Yeah, so one Ukrainian communications officer we spoke to who uses the call name Django, which really just shows Tarantino's influence knows no bounds.

He told Hunter Brook, quote, there is simply no alternative.

And he estimated that about 80% of Russian radio bridge antennae observed on the front line

is Ubiquiti.

80% is staggering.

These signalmen in Ukraine explained to us that most Western competitor brands are either too complicated to use, as you've seen, Ubiquiti, very easy to set up, or like Starlink, Elon Musk's company, those devices can be disabled remotely.

And what Django told us was, quote, Ubiquiti is made for regular people, basically plug and play.

He said there were tons of tutorials on YouTube.

But inside Russia these days, YouTube tutorials aren't the way young men communicate, because the Russian backyard is a f***ing battlefield.

And so instead, they make Telegram videos.

And we found example after example of Russian military units begging for donations so they could buy more $65 Ubiquiti products.

They're saying, quote, we thank the People's Militia Assistance Group for providing communications equipment in the form of ubiquity antennas.

Anten ubiquitia.

The soldier goes on to say, quote, reliable communications are the key to success.

The enemy will be defeated.

Victory will be ours.

No, they pretty clearly just explain what's going on.

Yeah, like why are there crowdfunding campaigns?
