The "Vanagas" (which means "Hawk" in Lithuanian), along with ammunition, arrived in the Baltic country on Monday, the country’s Defense Minister, Arvydas Anušauskas, tweeted.
The Bayraktar "Vanagas" with all the bought ammunition is already in Lithuania! On 6th of July we will have a quick presentation of it in the Šiauliai Air Base and after that it’s further path is to Ukraine!

After a press introduction on Wednesday, Anušauskas added the drone would be transferred to Ukraine soon.
"Citizens of Lithuania collected funds for this aircraft, but inspired by the idea, the Turkish company 'Baykar', the manufacturer of 'Bayraktar', decided to donate it," the Lithuanian Defense Ministry said.
