Lithuanian journalist and TV presenter Andryus Tapinas announced this on his Twitter.
Lithuania has purchased more than 100 countermeasures against unmanned aerial vehicles and radars for them. Anti-drones will help the soldiers of the Armed Forces to shoot down Russian UAVs.
“We bought 110 anti-drones for Ukraine and called them Orcrist or Orc Killer,” the journalist noted.
Ukraine will also receive 80 NATO-approved Wingman radars, which allow detecting and shooting down drones at a distance up to 5 km. All this cost more than 1 million euros.
We will remind that, journalist Andryus Tapinas launched a fund-raising campaign for Bayraktar Ukraine on May 25, saying that he had received consent for such a potential purchase from the defense ministries of Lithuania and Turkey and the manufacturer. Many well-known Lithuanians participated in the charity event, in particular, ex-president Dalia Hrybauskaitė. The Turkish company was moved by the act of the Lithuanian people and decided to present “Bayraktar” along with ammunition.
