The Lithuanian government plans to significantly strengthen its ground forces by allocating significant funds for the purchase of modern combat tanks. According to the draft resolution registered by the Ministry of Finance of the country, more than 461 million euros will be allocated from the state budget for an advance payment for the supply of Leopard 2A8 tanks.
These funds were allocated as part of a large-scale army modernization program aimed at increasing the country's defense capability in a changing geopolitical environment. Leopard 2A8 tanks, which are among the most advanced in Europe, will provide Lithuanian troops with a high level of firepower, protection and mobility.
The draft document providing for financing was officially registered on Monday. Its approval will be an important step towards signing a contract for the supply of equipment.
