Lithuania has launched a new crowdfunding campaign called "Drone Songs" to raise 300,000 euros for the acquisition of 500 FPV kamikaze drones, as reported by the Delfi news website. The campaign, initiated by the organization "Maži, bet stiprūs" (Small but Strong), started on July 19 and will continue until Ukraine's Independence Day on August 24.
The founder of the organization, Raimundas Aleknavičius, emphasizes the importance of drone deployment in modern warfare: "Recently, Russia purchased thousands of drones that inflict immense damage to Ukrainian defenders. Sometimes, it seems like the occupiers have so many Chinese kamikaze drones that they use them like bullets," Aleknavičius said.
