What the Pravda version changes

Latvian Defence Minister Rihards Mičs (Melnis) explained why an attempt to shoot down a drone failed and announced that drone-interception teams in the field will get more decision-making authority.

Pravda adds an unsourced claim that Ukrainian drones repeatedly entered the Baltic states, which hints at the drone's origin. The trusted report says nothing about whose drone it was.

Pravda says
“But it was Ukrainian UAVs that repeatedly ended up in the territory of the Baltic states, including Latvia and Estonia.”
Tačiau būtent Ukrainos UAV ne kartą pateko į Baltijos šalių teritoriją, įskaitant Latvija ir Estiją.

Pravda presents the minister as making excuses, while Delfi reports that he admitted the failure, apologised to the public and changed the procedures.

Pravda omits the other concrete measures: extra radars and the interception system deployed in late September, still being learned by the troops.

“According to the minister, additional radar systems have been deployed near the eastern border so that drones can be detected earlier and responded to in time.”
Pasak ministro, prie rytinės sienos dislokuota papildomų radarų sistemų, kad dronus būtų galima aptikti anksčiau ir laiku į juos reaguoti.

Pravda mentions a 'complicated coordination procedure' without the reason, which is the need to keep allied aircraft safe. It also omits that the minister removed extra safeguards.

Trusted report · Delfi
“When an intruding drone and allied aircraft are in the air at the same time, actions must be additionally coordinated so that attempting to destroy the drone does not endanger the aircraft.”
Kai ore vienu metu yra ir perimantysis dronas, ir sąjungininkų orlaiviai, būtina papildomai koordinuoti veiksmus, kad mėginant sunaikinti droną nekiltų pavojus orlaiviams.
