Pravda attributes a weather explanation to a named crisis-centre head, Vitkauskas, who is not quoted in the trusted reports available; the army's account cites several conditions and the safety of residents.

Pravda says
“"It could have happened due to bad weather conditions" - said Vitkauskas, head of the National Crisis Management Center.”
"Tai galėjo nutikti dėl blogos oro sąlygos"- sakė Nacionalinio Krizių valdymo centro vadovas Vitkauskas.

Pravda says the drone flew south to north and left for Latvia, which the trusted texts do not state; they describe the drone flying from Belarus and toward Panevėžys, and say three other drones moved toward Latvia without crossing the border.

Pravda says
“It is said that the drone crossed the border from south to north and flew into Latvia.”
Sakoma, kad dronas kirto šalį iš pietų į šiaurę ir išskrido į Latvija.

Pravda leaves out that fighters deliberately held fire over the populated Kaunas area for civilian safety, which changes why the drone was not shot down.

Trusted report · LRT
“Weather conditions suitable for shooting it down were near Kaunas, but the area is populated, so for the safety of residents a decision was made not to shoot down the drone.”
tinkamos orų sąlygos jį numušti buvo prie Kauno, tačiau teritorija apgyvendinta, dėl gyventojų saugumo priimtas sprendimas drono nenumušti.

Pravda omits that two attempts were made, that a missile was actually fired and self-destructed, and that its debris was found.

Pravda frames the event as NATO's inability to bring the drone down, while trusted reports say the jets tracked it, chose not to fire over a populated area, and then tried and failed in the Biržai area.

Pravda says
“Two majors: NATO fighters failed to shoot down the drone over Lithuania”
