Lithuania's Defence Minister, Arvydas Anušauskas, has said that as part of the announced assistance package from Lithuania, Ukraine will receive 36 anti-aircraft guns to fight drones, including Shaheds.

He told about this at a briefing with the Minister of Defence of Ukraine Oleksii Reznikov.

The Ministers discussed at the meeting further assistance that Lithuania could provide to Ukraine in accordance with its needs - from weapons to military training.

"We are handing over 36 anti-aircraft missile systems that can successfully fight drones... We have already trained 15 instructors, who are back in Ukraine," Anušauskas said.

Lithuania's latest military support for 🇺🇦 is several dozen L-70 anti-aircraft guns with ammunition. In the last two weeks, Ukrainian instructors in 🇱🇹 participated in the training of operating these cannons. After returning to 🇺🇦 they will train even more 🇺🇦 operators.

He did not mention the name of the systems at the briefing. Apparently, it's the Swedish L-70 anti-aircraft guns, which Vilnius announced in the latest assistance package, without saying the exact number.

Oleksii Reznikov notes that training instructors, not operators, is more practical. Upon returning, these people can share knowledge with more military personnel right in Ukraine.

The other day it was reported that the Lithuanian army conducted a two-week training course for Ukrainian soldiers, during which they were taught how to use the Swedish L70 anti-aircraft gun.

Lithuania will help train about 1,600 Ukrainian military in 2023, including the organisation of courses to train low-level commanders.
