Lithuania receives first FPV drones of its own production
The Lithuanian army received the first locally produced FPV drones. Some of the drones will be transferred to the Ukrainian military.
This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to the Lithuanian Ministry of Defense.
According to the Lithuanian ministry, the drones have already been delivered to the country's Land Forces. These drones are intended for both the Lithuanian Armed Forces and the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The drones were purchased from five Lithuanian manufacturers of combat drones. They are equipped with everything necessary for protection, launch and training.
“The drones have already been transported to the Lithuanian Armed Forces' warehouses. By the end of the year, the Lithuanian Armed Forces and the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be equipped with Lithuanian combat drones,” said Laurinas Kasciunas, Minister of National Defense of Lithuania.
The combat drones manufactured by Lithuanian companies are fully equipped, and the drone operator only needs to connect ammunition.
More than 2,300 combat drones will be transferred to the Lithuanian Armed Forces worth 3 million euros and almost 5,000 drones of the same type worth 5 million euros to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
