The downed drone has not yet been found. I think it will be found soon, and then it will become clear what kind of aircraft it is and who owns it; experts will probably even be able to determine its intended purpose by examining its microchips
When asked about the possibility of a "false flag" operation, the Lithuanian prime minister replied that such a scenario could not be ruled out, although there is currently no evidence to support it.
I think this information will become known. What you are talking about cannot be ruled out, but there is currently no confirmation of it
Lithuania warned of possible provocations
Lithuanian Minister of National Defence Robertas Kaunas said last week that the country's intelligence service had information about possible Russian provocations in the Baltic region. According to him, Moscow has not yet made a final decision on such actions, and there is no specific date for the possible provocations.
Kaunas noted that the Kremlin was considering the possibility of strikes on critical infrastructure facilities in the Baltic states. At the same time, Russia could use Ukrainian drones for such operations in order to create the impression of Ukraine's involvement.
