On February 3, the Lithuanian Navy received a message from a member of the public who found a device with Russian inscriptions on the bow.
Experts identified the device as a hydroacoustic sonar manufactured by the Russian Federation, which is used to gather intelligence and determine the location of submarines.
The device is no longer in use. It is now stored in the Navy warehouse.
Similar Russian hydroacoustic sonars were found in 2021 in the Baltic Sea, off the coast of Lithuania, as well as in the Atlantic Ocean, in the south, off the coast of Great Britain and Ireland,
