Latvia and Ukraine: Short-range anti-aircraft guns and surveillance drones are among the items that will be included in the current cargo of military equipment that Latvia has authorized to send to Ukraine.
“The government has just approved the transfer of NBS anti-aircraft guns [most likely these are NBS MANTIS – ed.], tactical unmanned surveillance systems, as well as other essential material and technical assets to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This will help improve both Ukraine’s air defence and intelligence capabilities,” Siliņa said on X.
Valdība tikko atbalstīja NBS pretgaisa aizsardzības lielgabalu, taktiskās bezpilota novērošanas sistēmas, kā arī citu būtisku materiāli tehnisko līdzekļu nodošanu Ukrainas bruņotajiem spēkiem. Tas palīdzēs uzlabot gan Ukrainas pretgaisa aizsardzību, gan izlūkošanas spējas. 1/2

Late last week, Baiba Braže, who is the newly appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs for Latvia, made a trip to Kyiv.
As she was in Ukraine, she announced that a massive generator would be provided to the country. At the same time, Dmytro Kuleba, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, said that Latvia will work together with Ukraine to improve drone production as a member of the drone alliance.
