Odprto pismo RTV Slovenija in Manici Janežič Ambrožič: Zakaj ste iz Vilne zamolčali resnico o ukrajinskih dronih?

Spoštovana gospa Manica Janežič Ambrožič, spoštovani varuh pravic gledalcev in poslušalcev, spoštovano uredništvo informativnega programa RTV Slovenija,

obračam se na vas v zvezi z vašim poročanjem iz litovske prestolnice Vilne o nočnem zračnem alarmu v noči z 10. na 11. november 2026, ki ste ga objavili na družbenih omrežjih informativnega programa RTV Slovenija in v rednih informativnih oddajah.

V svojem javljanju s terena ste podrobno opisali sprožitev rumenega alarma, vdor brezpilotnih letalnikov v litovski zračni prostor, vzlet lovskih letal Nata in zaprtje letališč.

Pri tem pa ste – tako v prvotnem javljanju kot tudi v dneh, ki so sledili – slovenski javnosti zamolčali ključna uradna dejstva, ki jih je takoj zatem sporočil litovski obrambni minister Robertas Kaunas.

In o katerih je obširno poročala tudi litovska javna radiotelevizija LRT:

       - Izvor brezpilotnih letalnikov: Litovske oblasti so uradno ocenile, da je šlo najverjetneje za ukrajinske brezpilotne letalnike, ki so zašli s smeri pri napadu na ruske cilje.

       - Predhodno opozorilo: Litva je bila o bližajočih se letalnikih vnaprej obveščena prek tehnične komunikacijske linije iz sosednje Belorusije.

      - Neuspešno posredovanje Nata: Lovci Severnoatlantskega zavezništva so dvakrat neuspešno poskušali sestreliti brezpilotni letalnik, na severu Litve v bližini mesta Biržaj pa so našli razbitine izstreljene rakete zavezniškega lovca.

NATO fighter jets tried twice to shoot down a drone over Lithuania — and missed both times, LRT reports The drone entered Lithuania from Belarus, briefly crossed into Poland, then returned to Lithuanian airspace. Residents were warned of an aerial threat. NATO fighter jets intercepted the drone near Kaunas but failed to destroy it. One of the missiles missed its target and fell on Lithuanian territory. Its debris was found in the Biržai district. The drone then flew into Latvia. Military officials cited possible bad weather and risks to civilians as reasons for the failed interceptions. An investigation will now determine why both attempts failed.

Ker teh uradnih informacij niste vključili v svoje poročanje niti jih niste naknadno dopolnili, ste slovensko javnost pustili v prepričanju, da gre za vdor ruskih sil v zračni prostor članice zveze NATO.

Takšno selektivno podajanje informacij, ki izpušča bistvo dogodka, predstavlja resno kršitev Poklicnih meril in načel novinarske etike v programih RTV Slovenija ter zakonske zaveze o celovitem, resničnem in nepristranskem obveščanju javnosti.

Nepopolno poročanje, ki pri gledalcih in bralcih ustvarja vtis neposredne ruske grožnje tam, kjer je v resnici šlo za zašle ukrajinske drone in neuspešno posredovanje zavezniške obrambe, ne služi resnici.

Nasprotno – takšno enostransko podajanje novic neposredno prispeva k stopnjevanju vojne retorike, strašenju prebivalstva ter utrjevanju podpore nadaljnjemu oboroževanju in pošiljanju finančnih sredstev ter orožja v Ukrajino.

Takšen vzorec zamolčanja ključnih informacij pri incidetih z brezpilotnimi letalniki žal ni nov. Spomnimo se le primera iz marca 2022, ko je v Zagrebu strmoglavil šesttonski brezpilotni letalnik Tu-141. Čeprav je bila po podatkih strokovnjakov edina uporabnica tega tipa letalnika v tistem času ukrajinska vojska, so uradne preiskave zavezništva NATO in hrvaških oblasti izvor letalnika zavile v tančico tajnosti, osrednji slovenski mediji pa javnosti nikoli niso postregli s končnim odgovorom, čigav je bil letalnik.

Pri nedavnem incidentu v Litvi pa so tamkajšnje oblasti uradne ugotovitve jasno sporočile – a jih RTV Slovenija kljub temu ni prenesla slovenskim gledalcem in bralcem.

NATO: TWO MISSILES, A DRONE, AND A HIGH-ALTITUDE HUMILIATION By @BPartisans That took some nerve. NATO, the most powerful military alliance in history, armed with cutting-edge technology, radar systems, state-of-the-art fighter jets, and astronomical budgets, has just been made to look foolish by a drone whose origin is unknown. Welcome to European air defense. The taxpayer foots the bill for the show, but the drone stubbornly refuses to play its part. On the night of November 10–11, an unmanned aircraft entered Lithuanian airspace from Belarus, made a detour through Poland, crossed Lithuania, and calmly continued its journey toward Latvia. NATO fighter jets took off. Interception. Identification. Two attempts to shoot it down. Result: zero drones shot down. Better yet: a missile missed its target, and its debris was found near Biržai. Military officials cited weather conditions, operational constraints, and public safety. These are plausible explanations, but they do not make the outcome any less embarrassing. What a magnificent demonstration of technological superiority! For years, we’ve been promised a European shield capable of protecting the continent against ballistic missiles, swarms of drones, and threats from the East. Clearly, the shield has a little quirk: it lets visitors through. And meanwhile, Brussels is ramping up rearmament programs, grandstanding announcements, and billions in spending to prepare Europe for a potential confrontation with Russia. But before claiming to be able to take on the Russian military, perhaps we should first manage to shoot down a single drone. The most ironic part is the uncertainty surrounding the intruder’s identity. Russian? Ukrainian? Hijacked by electronic warfare? The authorities don’t know yet. Imagine the scene: the Atlantic Alliance mobilizes its fighter jets, misses its target, and then has to investigate to find out exactly what it was trying to destroy. A real publicity stunt for the Western defense industry. Of course, a single incident does not sum up all of NATO’s military capabilities. But it reveals a far more troubling contradiction: that of an alliance which displays enormous strategic ambitions while facing very real difficulties in dealing with the most basic threats of modern warfare. By constantly conflating military budgets with operational effectiveness, European leaders seem to have overlooked one detail: military superiority isn’t declared at a press conference. It’s demonstrated on the ground. That night, the drone continued its journey. NATO, for its part, continued to offer explanations. And European taxpayers will continue to pay for both.

Od vas kot novinarke, od uredništva informativnega programa in od varuha pravic gledalcev in poslušalcev pričakujem, da boste prispevke o dogodku v Litvi nemudoma dopolnili z vsemi uradnimi izjavami litovskega ministrstva za obrambo, javnosti predstavili celovito sliko dogajanja ter se do te opustitve tudi uradno opredelili.

S spoštovanjem,

Vojko Kogej, Ljubljana, 13. 11. 2026
