Lithuania has announced its plan to donate 5,000 first-person view (FPV) drones to Ukraine, alongside purchasing 2,300 drones for its own military use. These locally manufactured drones, capable of carrying a payload of up to 3 kilograms, have successfully passed tests simulating frontline conditions. The initiative is part of a broader budget of 5 million euros ($5.58 million) allocated for Ukraine and an additional 3 million euros ($3.3 million) for the Lithuanian Armed Forces. Lithuania has been increasing its defense investments since the onset of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in February 2022, including a recent contract worth 1 million euros for a new drone platform. The Lithuanian government has also facilitated private donations for defense needs and has committed to allocating at least 0.25 percent of its GDP in support of Ukraine. To date, Lithuania has provided approximately 641 million euros ($699.9 million) in military aid to Ukraine, which includes various military equipment and systems.
