Israel Sells 16 Anti-Drone Radars To Lithuania For Ukraine's Use

A Lithuanian aid organization has bought 16 systems from the Israeli weapons company RADA for the use of Ukraine to detect Russian aerial threats, including missiles, rockets, mortar shells, helicopters, and Iranian drones, Oded Yaron reported for the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

Israel itself has refused to donate weapons to Ukraine despite the fact that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is Jewish. Ukraine received the radar systems last week from the Lithuanian Blue/Yellow volunteer organization that donated the systems.

According to a statement by the organization, the first three radars of the ieMHR model, have already reached Ukraine and are being deployed.

While radars are helpful, Israel's critics are fretting over the Iron Dome, Jacob’s Sling, and other multi-layer air defenses paid for by US taxpayer funds, which Israel refused to provide Ukraine.
