Lithuania to Train 22,000 Citizens in Drone Skills by 2028

More than 22,000 people will be trained to build and operate drones in Lithuania over the next three years. Defense Minister Dovile Sakaliene said that in 2028, 15,500 adults and 7,000 children would receive drone control skills.

The initiative, which is costing €3.3 million and is coordinated by the Ministry of Education, is designed to develop civilian proficiency and enhance national resilience.

General Training Centers for All Ages across the country
And from September on, drone control centers in Jonava, Taurage, and Kedainiai are also set to come online, followed by another six facilities opening up across other regions up to 2028.

LINEŠA will offer interactive lessons on how to make simple drones in the classroom for 3rd-12th-grade students to teach them to design 3D printed details. LINEŠA will organize training for adults with the help of the Lithuanian Riflemen.

Strengthening Security Amid Rising Threats
The drive in Lithuania comes against a backdrop of drones becoming an integral part of modern warfare, the most recent example being the 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia.

The country has also expanded its aerial surveillance and counter-drone capabilities, asking NATO last week to send in air defenses. An incident after two military drones crossed into Lithuanian airspace from Belarus led to the unilateral triggering of emergency procedures.

    The already fragile diplomatic dance between Washington and Tehran hit another wall on Monday, after President Donald Trump flatly rejected Iran's reply to a U.S. peace proposal. The fallout was immediate — oil markets jolted sharply higher, and concerns deepened that a conflict now entering its tenth week shows little sign of winding down anytime soon. At the heart of it all sits the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow but critical waterway that remains largely shut to normal traffic.
