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 | by Paul Serran

Drone sightings are reaching new heights of absurdity.

A significant psychological operation appears to be unfolding across Europe, with daily reports of ominous drone encounters leading to airport closures and military scramble—from Poland through the Baltics, all the way to Germany.

Unsurprisingly, the culprits are presumed to be Russian, although substantial evidence to support this claim remains notably absent.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz was quoted in a Reuters report stating, “Our assumption is that Russia is behind most of these drone flights.”

Yes, you read that correctly: it’s all speculation, perhaps akin to reading tea leaves.

LITHUANIA SHUTS DOWN AIRPORT OVER MYSTERIOUS BALLOONS

Vilnius Airport grounded all air operations after balloons were spotted drifting into forbidden airspace.

Flights were rerouted, and the airport remained shut until nearly 3 a.m. while authorities conducted their investigations.

In a twist worthy of a sitcom, Lithuania’s drone scare was revealed to be the result of mere balloons—specifically, those used by smugglers.

The Associated Press reported:

“Up to 25 small hot-air balloons, a number of which were confirmed to be transporting smuggled cigarettes, entered Lithuanian airspace late Saturday, resulting in the closure of Vilnius Airport and delaying flights for hours, according to authorities.”

These balloons thwarted 30 flights, impacting approximately 6,000 travelers, as reported by Lithuania’s National Crisis Management Center. Operations resumed at 4:50 a.m. (0150 GMT) Sunday.”

While the AP sidesteps any hint of mockery, it continues to propagate the narrative:

“Though the balloons were ultimately confirmed to be carrying cigarettes, Europe remains on high alert after intrusions into NATO airspace surged to unprecedented levels last month. Some officials within Europe have interpreted these incidents as Moscow testing NATO’s response, prompting concerns about the alliance’s readiness against Russian threats.”
