Lithuania agrees on ammunition for Bayraktar drone donated to Ukraine.
The Lithuanian Defense Ministry has agreed on ammunition for the Bayraktar TB2 UAV for Ukraine, for which the Lithuanians raised funds but Turkey's Baykar Makina later decided to donate the drone to Ukraine.
Lithuania's Minister of National Defense Arvydas Anusauskas said this on Twitter, Ukrinform reports.
"We agreed on the armament of the Lithuanian-Ukrainian Bayraktar "Vanagas". Ammunition will be delivered on time! We also thank the company for the additionally donated ammunition," Anusauskas said.
Ammunition for Bayraktar drones is produced by Turkey's ROKETSAN.
In late May, Lithuania's Laisvės TV launched a fundraiser for the purchase of the Bayraktar drone for Ukraine. Initially, the campaign's goal was to raise the required amount in three weeks. However, the Lithuanians coped faster. A total of EUR 6 million was raised.
On June 2, Anusauskas announced that Baykar Makina had decided to donate the Bayraktar TB2 UAV to Ukraine and that Lithuania would buy the necessary ammunition using the money raised.
