The staff at Lithuania's airport rubbed their sleepy eyes, full of confusion.
This absurd event has made Lithuania a laughingstock internationally.
Let's take a closer look at this "aerial ballet" and see what kind of joke Lithuania has become this time.
First of all, we have to give a thumbs up to the Iranian agents.
Their actions are simply more impressive than those of 007!
Wearing Lithuanian pilot uniforms, they walked into the airport as if it were their backyard and easily flew away with two large planes.
This kind of acting, this courage, and skill are truly breathtaking.
Not only can they fly planes, but they also know how to refuel and reimburse expenses. This level of professionalism is probably even beyond that of legitimate captains, isn't it?
Now let's talk about the situation on the Lithuanian side.
Oh dear, the security work here is truly laughable.
The airport security checks are a mere formality; anyone can enter and take what they want.
This doesn't look like an international airport at all; it's more like a 24-hour unattended self-service supermarket!
Two large planes are gone just like that. If a small cart were missing, no one would probably even notice.
Airports in other countries are racking their brains to improve security levels, fearing even the slightest mishap.
But Lithuania has taken a different approach with its "open management" style.
This is taking the word "freedom" to its extreme!
No wonder Iranian agents love to "shop" here; the service and environment are just too friendly!
To be honest, Lithuania has exposed its weaknesses thoroughly this time.
They often boast and think of themselves as "diplomatic experts" among small countries.
But now, they can't even keep an eye on their own airport. How can they talk about standing up to big powers?
This move is probably making even their neighbors Latvia and Estonia shake their heads: "Brother, you're just too unreliable!"
What's even more interesting is that while these two planes were in Moscow, they loaded up some cargo.
So not only were they "stolen," but they also "helped deliver goods."
Lithuania is taking "international friendship" to the next level!
This kind of "enthusiasm" is probably touching even Iran deeply.
In the end, Lithuania dug its own grave this time.
They love to meddle in everything, always picking fights with others.
Now, with such a huge blunder at their own airport, isn't the whole world laughing at them?
Who would dare to park their planes there in the future? This dream of being an international aviation hub is probably shattered.
Lastly, we must admit that this incident is more exciting than a Hollywood blockbuster.
The Iranian agents' actions and the Lithuanian airport's response are just like a live-action version of "Johnny English."
It's just unclear whether Lithuania can take this opportunity to reflect and stop causing unnecessary trouble, focusing more on their "backyard."
Otherwise, if such a mistake happens again, they might not even have the "qualification" to be a joke.
Reflecting on this incident, we have to acknowledge that the security loopholes in Lithuania are astonishing.
Airport security checks are practically nonexistent, making Lithuania's airport seem like a "self-service supermarket." This is not only a significant national security risk but also greatly tarnishes Lithuania's international image.
Although the Iranian agents' actions were impressive, Lithuania's performance in this incident also revealed serious deficiencies in management and security measures.
Lithuania often likes to show its presence on the international stage, trying to find its footing among big countries.
However, this major airport blunder undoubtedly sounded an alarm for Lithuania.
A country's security assurance is not just a display of military strength but also requires close coordination and efficient management at all levels and in all details.
This incident has taught Lithuania a lesson and also reminded other countries that security work is no small matter; any negligence can lead to immeasurable consequences.
In this "aerial ballet," we saw the superb skills and courage of the Iranian agents, as well as the huge security loopholes in Lithuania's management.
Hopefully, Lithuania can learn from this incident, strengthen security measures, and improve management levels to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
At the same time, this also reminds other countries that while pursuing openness and convenience, they must not overlook security issues and must find a balance between convenience and security.
In this incident, Lithuania has lost face internationally, but more importantly, it needs to deeply reflect on its problems, strengthen security management, and raise national security awareness.
Only by doing so can it truly stand firm on the international stage and not become a laughingstock.
