The Lithuanian military has trained Ukrainian troops to use a Swedish L70 anti-aircraft gun and carry out military police operations.
Lithuania’s Air Force trained L70 anti-aircraft gun operators who are able to prepare the gun for battle, fight against air targets, and carry out post-battle maintenance and minor repairs, according to a statement from the armed forces.
After live-fire training, Ukrainian soldiers will be able to destroy enemy planes, helicopters and drones within a range of 5km in all weather conditions.
Lithuania’s Military Police have also completed a two-week military police operations instructor training course for Ukrainian soldiers to improve their knowledge and skills in professional tactics, traffic regulation and control, the use of special means, operational planning, and the protection of VIPs.
