The Defence Resource Agency, part of the Lithuanian Ministry of Defence (MoD), has begun procedures for the acquisition of 35 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

Announced by the Lithuanian MoD on 14 September, the Defence Resource Agency intends to purchase 26 ‘mini' UAVs and 9 ‘small' UAV platforms.

The acquisition of the platforms will significantly bolster the Lithuanian army's intelligence capabilities, especially considering the service does not operate these types of tactical-level UAVs, suited for intelligence-based operations, Minister of Defence Arvydas Anušauskas said.

A Lithuanian MoD spokesperson was unable to detail specifics regarding suppliers, although they noted that the country hopes to field the UAVs as soon as possible.
