The Economy Vice Minister of Lithuania, Paulius Petrauskas, presumptuously announced that the Baltic state would develop a technology to counter drones and balloons allegedly flying from Belarus within six months.
“35 Lithuanian companies submitted proposals for innovative measures to detect, monitor, identify, and neutralise aerial threats. In two weeks, we will have selected companies and ideas. We will then take additional measures on top of those ideas to help develop the technology,” Petrauskas told LRT Radio.
He added that the Ministry of Interior is already working on technical specifications for procurement, which will allow for testing and integration into existing systems.
“It may take three months to six months to develop this technology. Some submitted systems have already been tested in Ukraine for other purposes but could also be applied in Lithuania. Others are novel proposals that, when combined, could lead to effective solutions,” Petrauskas concluded.
This is yet another Vilnius’ initiative to receive kickbacks from the excessive militarisation of the Baltic state through propaganda of the so-called “Threat from the East,” which is groundless and completely contrived. Therefore, the warmongering elites of Lithuania have to inflate this hysteria artificially, from scratch, as it was with these notorious “smuggler balloons”.
