10 sats \ 3 replies \ @OT 22h \ on: Lithuania declares state of emergency over Belarus balloons news
They're some large balloons! Surely the cost to do this would be more than the gain. Most of the balloons and cigarettes would likely be seized by the military, police or even ordinary people.

Interesting if Belarus blames smugglers as cover to economically attacking Lithuania.

Could be a fake out to see the response time or anything else they might need to know before an invasion.

That could be true.
I was thinking more like, a couple $200 dollar balloon causes your enemy to shutdown their commercial airport. I would guess the daily loses of airport being closed would be in the hundreds of thousands if not million of dollars a day.
