In the Midst of Europe-Wide Drone Paranoia, Lithuania’s Vilnius Airport Was Closed for Hours. The Reason? Air Balloons Carrying Smuggled Cigarettes | The Gateway Pundit

Is it a bird? An airplane? An enemy drone? No, it’s a smuggler’s balloon.

Drone sightings are going nuts.

A major psyop is ongoing in Europe, and hardly a day goes by that we don’t hear about some new ‘worrying development’ in drone sightings that close airports, send fighter jets scrambling, from Poland and the Baltics all the way to Germany.

It’s all blamed on Russia – that goes without saying – though no evidence to back that has been presented.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is quoted today in a Reuters report as saying: “Our assumption is that Russia is behind most of these drone flights.”

You read it right: they are assuming.

Meanwhile, in Lithuania, the drone scare took a comic turn: instead of Russian drones, smugglers’ balloons.

Associated Press reported:

“Up to 25 small hot-air balloons, some of them confirmed to be carrying smuggled cigarettes, entered Lithuanian airspace late Saturday and forced the shutdown of Vilnius Airport, delaying flights for hours, authorities said.

The balloons interfered with 30 flights, impacting some 6,000 passengers, according to Lithuania’s National Crisis Management Center. Flights resumed at 4:50 a.m. (0150 GMT) Sunday.”

The AP report skips the ridicule and keeps on pushing the psyop:

“While the balloons turned out to be ferrying cigarettes, Europe is on high alert after intrusions into NATO’s airspace reached an unprecedented scale last month. Some European officials described the incidents as Moscow testing NATO’s response, which raised questions about how prepared the alliance is against Russia.”
