Lithuania to Create Dedicated Military Unit for Drone Warfare

Lithuania has announced plans to establish a new military unit dedicated to drone warfare as it moves to centralize and accelerate its unmanned aviation capabilities.

The new formation, called Autonomous Remote Unmanned Operations (ANBO), builds on two years of drone training and operator programs intended to enhance the skills of servicemembers in unmanned systems.

It was named in honor of Antanas Gustaitis, a Lithuanian brigadier general and aeronautical engineer who designed the ANBO multimission aircraft in the 1920s, later used during the Second World War.
