Spruds stated that the air defense systems were procured and no ammunition was "forgotten." He explained that this refers to interceptor drones from the Latvian company "Origin Robotics," which are being tested and began to be procured back in late 2025. According to Spruds, to fully integrate them into Latvia's air defense system, explosives need to be added. He indicated that two approaches were chosen for equipping these drones with explosives: to consider how to utilize the existing explosives with the active involvement of the National Armed Forces (NAF), while simultaneously searching for solutions for international supplies in accordance with NATO standards. "It is clear that the number of such suppliers in international markets is very limited, as there are very few of these interceptor drones in NATO overall. In fact, we are among those who supply such interceptor drones," Spruds explained. The former minister added that an agreement had been reached with a Polish company that these interceptor drones could be equipped with explosives and ammunition specifically adapted for these drones for their deployment at the border. "Thus, this problem has been known from the very beginning; nothing was 'forgotten' here, work was being done on this," Spruds said, noting that the NAF, together with the State Defense Logistics and Procurement Center, was tasked with coming to a concrete solution. Spruds added that after the incident with drones in March, he ordered that equipped interceptor drones be deployed at the border in April. "Obviously, this required some additional time, but I very much hope that these interceptor drones are now being deployed in large numbers," the deputy said. As reported, Kulbergs stated in an interview for the LETA podcast segment "Politicians! What was that?!" that the necessary ammunition had not been purchased for the previously procured anti-drone systems in Latvia. Kulbergs made this statement while answering questions about the incidents with drones and the work of former Defense Minister Andris Spruds. When asked if this referred to the systems procured during Spruds' tenure for which the necessary ammunition had not been purchased, Kulbergs declined to provide a specific answer.
