Lithuania wants to speed up the procurement and implementation of UAVs through a single government client The Lithuanian authorities are proposing to establish a government-owned company that will oversee the production, purchase and distribution of UAVs. It must also fund manufacturers and regulate innovation to ensure the military gets what it needs. The idea has already won the support of the Prime Minister, and is now being discussed with the businesses. Manufacturers have been complaining for years that their products are not in demand in Lithuania - the last big order was in 2024. In the industry they say out loud: "There is a lack of institutional purchasing power." In general, we should force people to buy drones. True, so far these plans look like another bureaucratic superstructure. Instead of simply purchasing drones, Lithuania is creating another structure.
