The first batch of L-70 anti-aircraft guns supplied by Lithuania is already in Ukraine

"A batch of Lithuanian-sent L-70 anti-aircraft guns and ammunition, which will help defend critical infrastructure, have already arrived to Ukraine."

The transfer of dozens of L-70s to Ukraine was announced in the latest large aid package from Lithuania. During his visit to Ukraine, Defence Minister Arvydas Anušauskas noted that the handover of 36 L-70s would be particularly effective in fighting Iranian-made Shahed UAVs.

It has also been reported that the guns are supposed to work "in a team" with radars, for the purchase of which funds are being raised as part of the Lithuanian public initiative RADAROM. In two weeks, Lithuanians and charity donors from other countries have donated almost €7 million to the campaign's accounts.

The worth of the latest military aid package from Lithuania is about €125 million. In addition to the L-70, it will also include ammunition and two Mi-8 helicopters.
