Such a call came after the drone from the territory of Belarus violated the airspace of Lithuania. The European Commissioner noted that the incident testified to the reality of threats from Russia and Belarus, and also actualized the issues of Lithuania’s readiness to counteract unmanageable intrusion.
“Whether Lithuania is ready to protect yourself from such drones and whether it has the necessary opportunities for this, it remains unanswered,” Andrews Kubilus said.
The European Commissioner has called on the countries of the region to revise the strategy of protection of the Eastern border of the European Union. He emphasized the need to integrate innovative technologies, including unmanned systems, in addition to existing physical barriers.
“I continue to call for Lithuania and countries of the region working on the so -called security plan of the eastern border, to go beyond physical barriers. Creating a wall of drones should be included in such a plan,” he emphasized.
The European Commissioner also stressed that it is necessary to create a system of operational production of drones, which will allow the Baltic countries to produce the required number of devices adapted to protect borders in a short time.
Recall that the incident happened on July 10, 2025. Then a homemade aircraft flew from Belarus to Lithuania. He was first identified as Shahd, but later the Lithuanian Defense Minister Rady Shakaliene said that it was a drone of the Gerber model.
