On the coast of the Baltic Sea near the Lithuanian resort of Nida, a portable anti-aircraft missile system of Swedish production RBS-70 was carried out by the waves. This was announced by the mayor of the city of Neringa, Darius Jasaitis , writes klops.ru.

“Sometimes it’s not only amber,” commented the Lithuanian mayor posted on his social network photo. His post attracted the attention of about 200 people. It is reported that MANPADS was charged with a rocket and ready for use. The press writes that the dangerous find was destroyed by sappers who arrived at the scene.

Journalists recalled that two days earlier, the Yellow Arrow exercises of the Lithuanian army in the region had ended. One of the episodes of these exercises was the launch of anti-aircraft missiles using RBS-70 MANPADS systems from the board of the Jotvingis command ship (N42).

Nida beach on Wednesday night found a dangerous reactive grenade with the launcher barrel. Aloyzas Mickus, deputy commander of Aras, the Lithuanian police's anti-terrorist operations unit, told BNS that people who walked on the beach reported the finding to police. At the scene, Aro officers found a combat jet with a launcher. According to the commander, the find could not be transported because it was very dangerous, so it was decided to dispose of it locally. According to A. Musk, the cartridge was probably thrown by the sea. It was a modern Swedish production jet.

National Armed Forces have received the first 18 "Sportsman Big Boss" and MRZR- 2 military tactical vehicles in scope of the US government’s Foreign Military Sales programme. These vehicles are manufactured by the US company Polaris Government & Defense.

“We are delighted that Polaris vehicles are being delivered and will significantly boost the tactical mobility of Latvian Armed Forces, including the National Guard. This vehicle supply deal is yet another successful cooperation initiative between Latvia and the US,” underlined Defence Minister Raimonds Bergmanis.

It is planned that in scope of the US government’s Foreign Military Financing programme, National Armed Forces will receive 44 more Polaris military tactical vehicles by the end of 2018. Moreover, in 2020 National Armed Forces will receive additional Polaris vehicles in scope of a programme fully financed by the US government.

Eventually National Armed Forces will acquire 130 Polaris vehicles of four different types – "Sportsman Big Boss", MRZR- 2, MRZR - 4 and MV850, with the total value of vehicles reaching around EUR 6.8 million. Latvia will allocate approximately 15% of the required funding from its budget. Intergovernmental agreements between Latvia and USA include supply of vehicle parts, engineering support and training.
