Lithuania announced its intention to purchase attack drones

Lithuania intends to arm itself with shock drones. As stated by the Minister of Defense of the Republic of the resident of Lithuania Arvydas Anusauskas, the issue with the acquisition of UAVs will be resolved in the near future.

As the minister explained, the Lithuanian army is armed with unmanned aerial vehicles, but all of them are not designed to strike, but perform reconnaissance and surveillance functions. Now, however, Lithuania needed attack drones, so a decision was made to purchase them.

We provide for the acquisition of combat drones of a new technological generation, which will be designed to destroy the enemy (...)

- said Anushauskas.

So far, the Lithuanian Ministry of Defense has not provided any additional information, so it is not known which drones they intend to purchase in Vilnius and in what quantity. But with regard to funds for drones, clarity has already appeared, funds additionally allocated for military needs will be spent on the purchase. The government of the republic proposed to increase military spending by $250 million.

Earlier in Lithuania, the purchase of Turkish Bayraktar TB2 attack drones was not ruled out. Statements of this kind were made in June 2021 immediately after the Turkish drones were purchased by Ukraine and Poland. At the same time, Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Brussels on the eve of the NATO summit, where they discussed the likely purchase of drones.

The Lithuanians themselves will make her laugh - apparently, the Lithuanian wandered into the VO by accident. Accurately, according to all comments "-1". Nervous, unfinished. And the sprat laughs at them.

Among the Baltic tigers and other artiodactyls, the sprat turned out to be the smartest. Maintain neutrality and you will be in demand. Otherwise, no matter how much you puff up, and this is just one additional rocket.

[Shurik70]

But Belarusians still need to install additional radars.
Because the Lithuanians will strike.
Especially if the shock drone will be controlled by modern feminist transvestites.
And you also need to have your own drones, armed with air-to-air missiles, so that at least one is constantly in the air.

The hopes of young men are nurtured, and the Lithuanians hope to defeat the Russian army with the help of drones.

The goals and objectives for the Lithuanian army are set not in Vilnius, but in Brussels, based on the operational situation and costs ... for maintenance ...
Lithuanians will not pull full-fledged Air Force for money, whoever all combat aircraft and helicopters of possible Lithuanian Air Forces will be destroyed, and UAVs are a cheap option, and training technicians and operators for them is less expensive, women can generally be operators .... and airfields they don't need...
Dr. the point is that the empirialists are making a "fork" for us, UAVs can be used by Lithuania, both in Belarus and in the RF Corridor ....
Means of dealing with shock drones are much more expensive than the drones themselves ....

[NIKN]

There is nothing to cut money on, so they are trying to fantasize. So then they have no one to fight with. I mean, they don't need anyone anyway.

[sailor roman]

Lithuanians, like all the Balts, do not have the right to make independent decisions; they are controlled by the Armed Forces of Brussels and the United States. NATO only needs the territory of these sub-states against Russia.

I’m from the Baltics, we have such small territories that we don’t fucking need the Air Force, helicopters and UAVs are just that.

NATO will not save you guys. And if you manage to insult and humiliate the Russians less, then there is nothing to worry about. I understand that you need to somehow survive, but will soldiers from NATO bring you a lot of income? Maybe you need to apologize to the Russians, recognize them as full-fledged citizens of their country, and live with dignity at the expense of business and transit. However, it's up to you, decide for yourself.

Laughter and sin, and these there too. Have you already bought Banderlogs and did it help them a lot? No, well, if you cut the loot, then of course it is also an option.

[Karos]

Drones have shown themselves no worse than simple aircraft. The price of both the devices themselves and the management is much cheaper, and they made a lot more noise.

[voyaka uh]

"Have you already bought the Banderlogs and did it help them a lot?"///

Yes. Strongly. Lots of quality videos. Destroyed tanks, BUKs, ammunition trucks. Bayraktars work clearly.

[Fisherman]

Let them take airships .... Bayraktars are too nimble for the Balts ... at least some kind of reaction is needed.

[vervolk]

Oh yes, everything comes to the Tribalts later ... They are just now in the stage of adoration of the "bayraktars". Then they will be excited about the "jabelins", and then you see, they will come to denazification ...

it's not about Bayraktars. But Ze will try to arrange a provocation, in the sense that they will send the Armed Forces of Ukraine at least one blow to the Baltic country, and it will turn out to be "Russia's attack on NATO." I think that it would be better for the Balts to build bridges with Russia as soon as possible. Even if they are members of NATO, NATO is unlikely to fit in for them. In words only.

It's better to start blowing bridges. Just in case

There is one way for Lithuania to maintain at least a semblance of independence, which is to sell for one ruble the railway from the Russian border to Kaliningrad, Russia, and free airspace for any Russian aircraft. This must be done before the end of the special operation in Ukraine, otherwise the special operation will begin with them. Does Lithuania need it?

In Washington they will determine - from whom to buy, in Brussels - how much .....
Previously, the United States BR and KR encircled us (now of different basing), and now their henchmen are also UAVs (also, by the way, of different basing) ....
The Russian Federation needs to somehow stop this threat ....

250 million dollars.

the cost of the complex is $ 70 million i.e. 3 complexes -18 UAVs the area of ​​​​the Lithuanian meadow is 8 x 8 thousand square kilometers is a normal solution, we need to somehow solve the issue of isolation of Kaliningrad. labus bibis

[Karos]

Not 70 but 50 (bayraktar tb2), This is together with 2 control complexes, 6 devices, 200 bombs, training and training of personnel + technical support. And after you have bought 1 full package, you can only buy devices and shells. Apparatuses cost 5 million, shells from 30 to 50 thousand apiece. Considering the size of the country, 2 complete packages are enough in which there will be 4 control points. This is completely enough to use the devices throughout the country. And the planes themselves to 10k that in the kit you can still buy a drain. That is, approximately 50 + 50 is 2 sets + 12 devices and 10 devices separately + 3 lyamas for ammunition. This price of the 1st new f-35 is much more effective for the size of the country.

You are more careful there! They fly fast and can cross the CSTO border! Or Russian soprut, for the sake of fun, turning on the electronic warfare station, they will begin to fly on them over military facilities in Poland.

[Karos]

Alas, electronic warfare is an easy target, as soon as they turn on, they give out their location, and given their number and price, this is not the best option from a drone. Yes, and they jam almost everything and the enemy, and their radio stations behind enemy lines, which is very dangerous for oneself. And most importantly, drones are switching to satellite communications, in 5 years EW will not be a problem for them. The defense industry also understands all this and therefore does not print in such quantities as other types of weapons.

Yes, and they jam almost everything and the enemy, and their radio stations

Modern electronic warfare is not only jammers. Drone control interception (fixed frequency) The closer to the enemy, the weaker the signal. I will not explain what modulation and de modulation are. Take my word for it, interception is possible.

Satellite phone - the owner's problem! The missile follows the frequency signal. The drone not only receives commands, but also transmits telemetry.
