Here's What We Know
"If we cannot provide enough weapons, then we must lift all restrictions on the transfer of Western weapons to Ukraine or invest in Ukrainian long-range weapons," the minister said.
Among the various options for which Lithuania is ready to allocate funds is the Ukrainian-made Palyanytsia UAV. The option of a ballistic missile system is also being considered.
According to him, the allocation of funds for the production of long-range drones or missiles allows Ukraine to decide independently where and what enemy targets to destroy.
Flashback
The Palianytsia drone missile is a Ukrainian development that was presented on 24 August 2024, although the drone had successfully hit targets before that. It is known that Palianytsia is launched from a ground-based platform and has a range of up to 700 km. This means that there are about 20 Russian airfields in the target area.
