The drone that crashed in Lithuania may be a Russian Gerbera.
On July 10, a Russian drone crashed in Lithuania, a NATO country. The drone flew into Lithuania from Belarus.
The Lithuanian army reported this.
The Lithuanian Air Force recorded an object approaching the country's border from Belarus at around 11:30. NATO air policing fighters in the air changed their readiness level from training to combat mode.
The object fell in a short time, so the mission for the fighters was cancelled. This information was exchanged with the State Border Guard Service.
” On-duty military personnel have been sent to the site of the object's fall to guard it. The object appears to be homemade and does not pose a threat,” the Lithuanian army said.
The Telegram channel “Trukha”, citing the editor-in-chief of the publication Defense Express Oleg Katkov, reported that this is a Russian drone “Gerbera”.
Let us recall that during the attack on Ukraine late in the evening of July 9, Russian troops launched their Shahed drones into the territory of Belarus along the Ukrainian border, bypassing air defenses.
By the way, in the spring, former US General and former head of the CIA David Petraeus expressed the opinion that if Russia wins the war against Ukraine, the head of the Kremlin Vladimir Putin may try to invade Lithuania.
