Lithuania plans to send Ukraine 36 anti-aircraft missile systems that can be used to shoot down Iranian-made kamikaze drones that Russian invaders launch across the territory of our state. This was stated by Lithuanian Defense Minister Arvydas Anushauskas at a joint briefing with his Ukrainian counterpart Alexei Reznikov at the Ukraine-Odessa Media Center.

According to Anusauskas, his state has also already trained 15 instructors who will be able to train our military to use these air defense systems..

" We are also transferring 36 anti-aircraft missile systems to Ukraine, which can effectively counteract drones,"

Reznikov, in turn, added that during the meeting with Anusauskas, the following military support packages from Lithuania were discussed. One of the priorities will be air defense.

The Ukrainian minister also drew attention to the importance of training instructors by the Baltic state.

" I want to note the importance of the fact that the Lithuanian side is preparing not just air defense system operators, but instructors, who will then be able to teach our military. That is, they train coaches,"
