Laurynas Kasčiūnas: the drone shootdown was successful, but Lithuania is not prepared for a larger number of them

“Today is the day when we can be proud of our army, that we have allies, and that the algorithms worked. Of course, Latvia and Estonia already had such success stories, we were waiting for a success story in Lithuania as well. A success story in the sense that we managed to detect the drone, identify it in time, and neutralize it,” L. Kasčiūnas said in the Seimas on Tuesday.
