Just look up anything drone related on aliexpress and 90% of the reviews will most likely be Ukranian and Russian.
(I think you might only be able to see the nationality in the app)
While some of those might be fake, I think most of them are real.
You can also run the Network Controller on any PC or even Home Assistant if you dont need to do any advanced traffic routing features.
The only disadvantage is that updates cannot be automatically applied while the network controller is off, the APs however do work fine without it, as long as they are configured once.
Temper proof torx makes me lol, because almost every bit set I own includes them.
If you break it off you will most likely leave some behind, which will significantly reduce the mating area because you cannot insert the bit fully and may lead to stripping the screw.
If you tell me a reason why some AliExpress seller should create fake reviews which appear to come from ukraine or russia specifically, let me know.
You can never be 100% certain of anything.
For me all the signs point to china selling to whoever is buying stuff from them, especially since its not the government or even large conglomerates, but factories and companies of all sizes and shapes that sell drones and other dual use items.
As long as there isnt any blanket ban from the government they sell to everyone, because why would you make less profit if you could make more?
I dont know if there are big price differences when buying wholesale depending on which country you buy from, but there definetly arent any when buying single items.
I also think that china isnt supplying russia because it wants russia to win, but because it wants russia to be dependent on them.
