Jurgis Liepnieks assessed the reaction of the head of the defense agency to today's incident with drones.
Political scientist Jurgis Liepnieks commented on the statements made 'in the heat of the moment' by Minister of Defense Andis Sprudns ('Progressives') on the social network X:
"Our Minister of Defense, catastrophically unsuitable for this position, has already stated several times today that no country in the world is capable of shooting down all drones. He mentioned Israel as an example.
What kind of idiots do you have to consider everyone to use such an argument and comparison? Yes, no country is capable of shooting down 100%. Ukraine shoots down 89-95% of drones, Israel also around 90%. And Latvia, thanks only to Sprudns' activities, has shot down 0% of drones for four years," the political scientist noted.
