Companies in Lithuania are manufacturing anti-drone netting intended to protect the country's strategic objects from potential drone attacks, business representatives told the newspaper Verslo Žinios.

Alvydas Pundzius of the company Kovas confirmed that its metal nets are already shielding some strategic objects. He declined to provide further details.

Why it is happening

According to Verslo Žinios, Lithuania decided to step up anti-drone protection of strategic objects after a drone incursion on October 18. The source does not say which sites are protected, how many nets have been installed or what the work costs.

Local manufacturers are thus already taking part in national protective measures taken in response to that incident.
