Bayraktar TB2 "Vanagas" has already arrived in Lithuania and is awaiting shipment to Ukraine
In June, Lithuania negotiated the purchase of a Bayraktar TB2 strike drone from Turkey to deliver it to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The drone has already arrived in Lithuania and is awaiting shipment.
What we know
The drone raised €5 000 000 in a few days, but Baykar company refused to accept the money and decided to transfer the UAV for free. Just over €1,000,000 will be spent to buy ammunition for Bayraktar TB2 and the rest will go to help Ukraine.
Today, July 4, Lithuanian Defense Minister Arvydas Anušauskas wrote on Twitter about receiving an unmanned aerial vehicle. It was named Vanagas, which means "hawk". on July 6 at the military base in Šiauliai city a presentation of the attack drone will take place, after which it will be immediately sent to Ukraine.
The Bayraktar "Vanagas" with all the bought ammunition is already in Lithuania! On the 6th of July we will have a quick presentation of it in the Šiauliai Air Base and after that it's further path is to Ukraine! ????????
