The legal action, brought by DiCello Levitt LLP on behalf of Ukrainian victims and their families, argues that Ubiquiti’s long-range airMAX antennas became critical to a 100-kilometer kill zone. Plaintiffs contend that Russian operators rely on these devices to transmit live drone video, coordinate attacks, and maintain a digital chain of command that targets civilians on ordinary roads and in residential neighborhoods.
Lawsuit Accuses Ubiquiti of Powering Russia's 'Human Safari' in Ukraine
A human rights lawsuit filed in New York alleges that Ubiquiti Inc. enabled Russian forces to hunt and kill Ukrainian civilians by providing the wireless infrastructure for their drone command-and-control networks. The complaint claims the company ignored repeated warnings that its radio equipment was sustaining a deadly 'human safari' across the front lines.
Lead counsel Scott Gilmore stated that the company had both the visibility and the technical means to intervene, yet failed to restrict or disable its hardware despite clear evidence of its military deployment. The complaint cites a 60% surge in exports to Russia following the invasion, alongside telemetry data and military-linked reports confirming the equipment's role in frontline communications. The lawsuit asserts that by continuing to provide firmware updates and support, the company facilitated these operations. Specific claims include negligent product design and aiding and abetting assault, as the firm seeks accountability for a series of documented drone strikes against first responders, energy workers, and families.
