The head of the Lithuanian Ministry of National Defense spoke on this matter. — There is no 100% protection or 100% detection. It is neither in Israel, nor in the United States, nor in Arab countries, nor in Russia or Ukraine. There should be no illusions that such full protection exists, he said, quoted by zw.lt.
When asked about details about the drone, he said that it would be the subject of explanations. – I will be able to say exactly after analyzing the radar data. When we have a full picture of the situation after the end of the operation, we will clarify the information, said the politician.
Alarm in Lithuania. The most important politicians went to the shelters
Wednesday's incident lasted about an hour, Reuters reported. Due to a possible incident in Lithuania, the NATO Air Policing mission was activated and the airspace over Vilnius airport was temporarily closed. The authorities advised residents of the Vilnius region to go to shelters or other safe places. Among those who went to the shelters were: Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda, Speaker of the Parliament Juozas Olekas and Prime Minister Inga Ruginiene.
The military reported that the reason for sending the warning to residents was the observed radar trace characteristic of an unmanned aerial vehicle. “Activity was reported near the Lithuanian border. The NATO Air Policing mission was activated,” the Lithuanian armed forces said.
