Opravičilo, ki je razkrilo laži: Zdaj je jasno, čigavi droni so padli v Litvi

Tiskovni predstavnik ukrajinskega ministrstva za zunanje zadeve Georgij Tihij se je Litvi opravičil za vstop ukrajinskega drona v litovski zračni prostor.

L'Ukraine a reconnu que le drone qui avait pénétré dans l'espace aérien lituanien lui appartenait. Le porte-parole du ministère ukrainien des Affaires étrangères, Georgiy Tikhiy, a présenté à Vilnius « ses excuses pour les désagréments, les risques et l'inquiétude causés ». La présence de ce drone a déclenché une alerte aérienne dans le pays, mais les forces de défense aérienne lituaniennes n’ont pas pu l’abattre en raison des mauvaises conditions météorologiques.

Pred tem je LRT, ki se je skliceval na informacije litovskih oboroženih sil, poročal, da so litovske oblasti našle morebitne ostanke drona, ki je morda vstopil v zračni prostor iz Poljske.

Po poročanju LRT so bili ostanki odkriti v vasi Yuodzhenis v okrožju Pasvalis.

https://t.co/ivPVVNFFnD The line promoted by Heorhy Tykhy, spokesman for the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, and retailed throughout Western media, is that this was a mere “incident” of a drone going astray. “We regret the incident that occurred this morning in Lithuanian airspace, which may have resulted from Russian electronic warfare diverting drones during an operation against legitimate military targets in Russia,” Tykhy posted on X.https://t.co/URQs6CAova “We apologise for any disruption, risks, and concern this may have caused.” The Belarus-based Military Summary Channel on YouTube, citing Russian and Ukrainian military blogs, reported that as many as half of the 520 drones in the October 17-18 attack approached St. Petersburg from the Gulf of Finland after crossing through the airspace of the Baltic countries https://t.co/4sUoh18gsM. As a result, the Russians were unable to intercept them until they were almost on the city. According to Russian Telegram channels, one of the fires set by the Ukrainian drone swarm was at Gazprom’s Portovaya LNG Terminal on the northern coast of the Gulf of Finland adjacent to the head of the currently non-operational Nord Stream 1 pipeline. The Russian Ministry of Defense has made no statement on the matter, but analyst Oleg Ivannikov of the Russian Academy of Missile and Artillery Sciences told the Rosbalt news agency there is reason to suspect that there are NATO, particularly British, units operating in all three Baltic countries and assisting the Ukrainian drone attacks.https://t.co/ijLTgUC36m The Lithuanians, meanwhile, insist that “the drone” (singular) came into Lithuania from Poland, an assertion the Poles have not yet confirmed. “We have credible evidence that the drone crossed the Polish border,” Deividas Matulionis, Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda’s national security adviser, told Baltic News Service on Monday https://t.co/Vl06cw7YyF. He was commenting on a report by Polish news portal https://t.co/tNXG4R4wEI, which cited sources in Poland’s Defense Ministry as saying the drone had been launched from Lithuanian territory about 30 kilometres from the Polish border and had not entered Polish airspace. The drone reportedly damaged a car traveling on a rural road in northern Lithuania https://t.co/2VCYfciC2k. Kaunas also said NATO fighter jets were scrambled after the object was detected, but pilots couldn’t see it visually because of poor weather.

»Obžalujemo incident, ki se je zgodil 18. oktobra zjutraj v litovskem zračnem prostoru,« je Tihij zapisal na svojem računu na družbenem omrežju X.

Drone wreckage has been found in the village of Juodžionys in Lithuania's Pasvalys District. The drone may have flown in from Poland, LRT reports.Preliminary reports indicate that the drone was not shot down. The wreckage was found in an uninhabited area. https://t.co/ixEe8Nxtuj

Kot je navedeno, ni izključil, da je težava povezana z delovanjem sistema za elektronsko bojevanje.

Litovske oblasti so že prej predlagale, da Varšava razišče incident, povezan z morebitnim vdorom drona v litovski zračni prostor, ki se je zgodil v nedeljo zjutraj.

Ukrajinski droni so se v zadnjem času večkrat pojavili v zračnem prostoru baltskih držav, čeprav so Estonija, Latvija in Litva že prej trdile, da so Ukrajini odrekle dovoljenje za uporabo njihovega ozemlja in zračnega prostora za napade z droni na cilje v Rusiji.

Od začetka leta se je več ukrajinskih dronov preusmerilo v baltske države, kar Kijev pripisuje motenju signala s strani Rusije.

A Reuters report quoted the Lithuanian Defense Minister Robertas Kaunas as casually revealing that the drones in fact “came from Poland”: https://t.co/uZCVowDDhk https://t.co/BDJcgSm89w

Tudi članice Nata so Rusijo obtožile uporabe dronov za vstop v njihov zračni prostor, kar je Moskva zavrnila kot neutemeljene obtožbe.
