Lithuanian Defense Minister Arvydas Anusauskas wrote about this on Twitter.
Lithuanian journalist Andryus Tapinas clarified that Lithuanians will pay for 27 drones — 10 drones will be provided by the manufacturing company WB Group for free.
Warmate drones weigh about 5.7 kilograms. They have a range of up to 30 kilometers and a speed of 150 km/h, and can carry explosives.

On July 8, the drone arrived as intended.
- In July, the Lithuanians bought 110 anti-drone guns and 80 radars for the Ukrainian army. The total cost of this equipment is €1,095,000.
