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.

The revelation follows allegations Russian forces are deploying Starlink in their invasion of Ukraine, now in its third year. DJI says it forbids distributors from selling its products in instances of suspected combat end-use. In April 2022, the tech firm announced it was temporarily suspending business in both Russia and Ukraine pending "compliance assessments."
"We can confirm that this is not an official DJI website," a company representative said when asked about the Starlink sales.
DJI said its legal team was looking into possible copyright infringement.
Representatives of the purported distributor, djirussia.ru, did not respond to a request for comment.
Starlink's Elon Musk has categorically denied Starlink sales are happening in Russia.
