On August 26, it was reported that Lithuania was also taking the initiative to announce the purchase of 37 drones for the Ukrainian state. Kamikaze drones will be purchased in Poland.

He opened the LegionOfBoom collection before Independence Day in Ukraine. The activist was able to raise the necessary money in a few days to buy 37 aerial kamikazes.
Lithuanian defence minister Arvydas Anushauskas announced on Twitter that the drones Warmate will be transferred to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The drone can be airborne for up to 30 minutes and fly up to 10 km. Warmate is capable of carrying 800-gram warheads. The Polish drone attacks with explosives, shaped, thermobaric warheads.

For 1 million euros, we will receive 37 drones kamikaze Warmate from the Polish manufacturer WB group and will hand them over to Ukraine.
