Plywood and Styrofoam That Sent NATO Jets Scrambling!
In Lithuania, a full-blown drama erupted over… a drone made of plywood and styrofoam! Yes, you read that right. The Lithuanian top leadership, including Prime Minister Gintautas Paluckas and Parliament Speaker Saulius Skvernelis, were urgently moved to shelters after an unknown object entered Lithuanian airspace from Belarus and crashed about one kilometer from the border.
NATO immediately scrambled fighter jets to investigate the situation but quickly stood them down when it was determined the object posed no threat. It turned out to be a drone decoy, made of plywood and styrofoam, carrying no weapons or danger.
Lithuanian officials said they still don’t know the purpose of this drone, but it clearly caused widespread panic and an urgent response. The drone is likely of Russian origin and designed to mimic more dangerous models like the Shahed drones.
For context, last September, a Russian military drone carrying explosives crashed in Latvia, about 90 kilometers from the Belarus border, escalating tensions in the region.
This incident highlights how tense the security situation is in the Baltic states and how easily a simple drone decoy can trigger an international drama.
If this story sounds like a scene from a spy movie, you’re not far off. Only this time, the star is… a styrofoam drone!
What do you think — harmless provocation or a serious warning? Drop your theories, maybe together we’ll uncover what’s really going on at NATO’s borders!
