Latvian authorities previously acquired anti-drone systems without the necessary ammunition, Latvian Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs said, as reported by the Baltic news outlet Delfi on Aug. 12. "They purchased the equipment, but forgot to buy the ammunition," Kulbergs said in an interview on the Leta news agency's program published earlier this week. Kulbergs mentioned the incident during a discussion about drone incursions and the work of former Latvian Defense Minister Andris Spruds. However, the prime minister did not disclose further details about the types of systems or agencies involved, declining to confirm whether he was indeed referring to those procured under Spruds. Spruds said that through his resignation he wished "to protect the Latvian army from being dragged into a political campaign."
