Before raising funds for Bayraktar TB2, Lithuania acquired two ultra-modern unmanned aerial vehicles from Estonia
They were named "Magila" in honor of the ancient Lithuaniangoddess of death. New Magila drones will help the Armed Forces of Ukraine send the invaders to the grave. Lithuanian presenter Andrius Tapinas reported on Twitter that they spent €990,000 on six drones, i.e. the cost of one is €165,000.
We just bought 4 more modern Estonian made recon drones EOS C VTOL which we named Magyla for additional 660,000 euro. Total value – 990,000 euro.

Ukrainian operators are already being trained to operate drones. "Magila-1", "Magila-2", "Magila-3" and "Magila-4" went to Ukraine. Two more models will join them in two months.
EOS C is a high performance dronean aircraft with vertical takeoff and landing, as well as the best flight characteristics in its class. The UAV is equipped with large wings and a high-quality camera that can provide a clear picture from a great height.
The drone can withstand strong winds and features a quiet motor. This is an ideal solution for adjusting long-range artillery. The maximum penetration distance is 50 km.
