The Lithuanian authorities have begun installing anti-aircraft defense systems near the capital Vilnius, reports The Moscow Times. The initiative comes following an alert received from the US secret services, adds the cited source. The alert refers to possible Russian hybrid operations against the Baltic states and Poland.
According to a report by the Lithuanian public broadcasting, the country’s armed forces have strengthened their air defense near the capital by deploying the NASAMS medium-range air defense system.
The CIA has warned allies that Russia is preparing sabotages and false flag attacks.
In August, Bloomberg, quoting a European official, reported that the American intelligence service, the CIA, had warned allies about indications that Russian secret services were preparing sabotage operations on infrastructure and false flag attacks, which would be attributed by Moscow to a third party.
The commander of the Lithuanian army, Raimundas Vaisnoras, stated that the capital area is currently protected over a larger radius.
According to this, the NASAMS system offers a combination of speed, range of action, and precision in hitting the target.
