Four reconnaissance planes were recorded.
Flyghtradar24.com recorded four NATO planes flying into Lithuania. One of them is still circling over Vilnius.
The first to report this was Lrytas.lt. According to the news portal, the first reconnaissance plane spotted was a Bombardier Challenger 650 ARTEMIS. According to Flightradar24, it flew out of Siauliai around 7.30 a.m. and was initially heading east, writes delfi.lt.

At around 10.20 a.m., another Bombardier Challenger 650 ARTEMIS also flew into Lithuania. An American Boeing RC-135 Rivet Joint reconnaissance aircraft, which flew from the UK, also flew into Lithuania.

Another NATO reconnaissance aircraft flew into Lithuania from Germany. According to Flightradar24.com, its route is no longer available - the plane landed near Klaipeda.
Lithuanian military recently reported that they observed the drone while it was on the territory of Belarus:
"The Lithuanian Air Force observed the object while it was on the territory of Belarus, the information was transferred to the NATO Joint Air Operations Center. So far, the most likely version is that the plane was disoriented by Ukrainian air defense, but all possible versions will be investigated.
The military and representatives of other state structures of the country are currently searching for the plane, followed by the same actions as in the case of "Gerbera" - demining the scene and further investigation."
