Lithuania demonstrated the preparation of dozens of L-70 anti-aircraft guns to be sent to Ukraine. Moreover, it was announced that these guns would be transferred with radars, for purchase of which a coalition of public initiatives from Lithuania has already collected 7 million euros.

As Rubryka writes, this is stated in the LRT report.

Lithuania's last major aid package includes transferring dozens of L-70s to Ukraine. During a visit to Ukraine, Defense Minister Arvydas Anušauskas clarified that they are being transferred in the amount of 36 units and that these weapons should be handy for fighting Iranian Shahed drones. Ukrainians who mastered L-70s in Lithuania can pass on their knowledge to other servicepersons.

The report says that these guns should be used with the same radars, for the purchase of which funds are being collected within the Lithuanian public initiative RADAROM, for which several organizations have joined forces. Lithuanians and benefactors from other countries transferred almost 7 million euros to the campaign accounts in less than two weeks.

 

For reference:

The total amount of Lithuania's latest military aid package is about 125 million euros. In addition to the L-70, it will also include ammunition and two Mi-8 helicopters.
