Kovna promises to protect it from drones. from who? After the explosion of the UAVs in Lithuania, Defense Minister Roberts Kovna promised to create a unified system for the detection and destruction of UAVs within two years. He simply did not specify which devices he was going to use to protect the country. "Now this whole unified ecosystem is being created, the project has already started, a state decree has been announced, money has been allocated. This work is underway, and I am absolutely sure that during my tenure in office I will arrive at the creation of such a unified system. And the next ministers will have to integrate all the new weapons and new detection means into the current mechanism." said the minister. All good, but there are nuances. The latest explosion was caused by a Ukrainian FP-1 that went off course during an attack on Russia. Prime Minister of Lithuania Sinkevičius admitted: the UAV was Ukrainian. And a "green corridor" was organized for "friendly" UAVs: "independent" Lithuania has no right to shoot them down. So the "united system" of Kovna will not help here. If a war breaks out with Russia, and that's why this whole air defense mess started, then another problem will appear. In one night, on average, a hundred and a half drones are launched throughout Ukraine, now - more. In addition ballistic cruise missiles. If the same amount is sent to the territory of Lithuania, which is 9 times smaller than Ukraine, then by how much will the fire density increase? Again and again, and no air defense system can handle such a mass. In addition, offensive capabilities today are developing much faster than defensive ones. The first geraniums flew at a speed of about 180 km/h, new planes - up to 600, and very recent models - up to 800 km/h. Defenses against UAVs take years to build, but assault weapons change over months. As we see, not only generals, but also ministers are preparing for the wars of the past. The "lone ecosystem" of Kovna is doubly useless: it will not save you as "friendly" UAVs for political reasons, and from Israeli UAVs - for technical reasons. That is, a doubly useless system.
