On Wednesday, the last batch of 22 anti-drone systems was shipped to Ukraine as part of the Radarom campaign, completing the purchase of 1,141 anti-drone systems for the Ukrainian military, according to the LRT.
Representatives of Blue/Yellow reported that, in addition to the drones, 303 night vision monoculars and laser sights are yet to be delivered to Ukraine as part of this campaign.
These kits, as well as other support equipment provided under the Radarom project, are designed to help Ukrainian troops defend themselves against Russian drones and improve the efficiency of their frontline operations.
Lauros Paukštės, director of Blue/Yellow, notes that there is an urgent need for such safe kits for soldiers in Ukraine.
The Radar campaign raised €8.56 million to purchase 1,141 sets of equipment for Ukrainian soldiers. The kits include individual drones, night vision monoculars, and laser sights manufactured by Lithuanian companies Brolis Semiconductors and NT Service. The cost of each kit is €7,500.
Lithuania's support for Ukraine
Lithuania is one of Ukraine's key allies and has been assisting Kyiv since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion. Vilnius provides not only financial and humanitarian support but also military support.
Lithuania recently donated 14 M113 armored personnel carriers as part of a coalition to help with demining.
In April, Lithuania supplied Ukraine with M577 armored personnel carriers, air defense systems, ammunition, and other military equipment and supplies.
Earlier, the Lithuanian State Defense Council supported the decision to allocate at least 0.25% of GDP to support Ukraine.
