Good, buy European!
That’s a shit load of armoured vehicles!
Targets for enemy drones
Good choice. Whether 8×8 or 6×6 variants, there will be plenty of commonality to go around the region!
It looks like this will be under the CAVS framework, which is excellent news. Not only is it a great platform, but it will boost interoperability throughout the JEF with the other CAVS partners.
6×6 or traxx ? or both?
Lithuania isn’t messing around. Thats a serious amount of armor.
That’s some good equipment, but who’s going to man it? That’s more than the entire stock of similar vehicles in the Polish Armed Forces, yet Lithuania’s population is around 1/12th of the Polish one.
What? That’s a huge number. Comparably sized armies have 100-200 such vehicles at most, I wonder what they intend to do with them.
