This latest decision aligns with Lithuania’s ongoing efforts to modernize and upgrade its military capabilities amid a rapidly evolving regional security landscape. The announcement underscores the increasing importance of air defense for Lithuania, as the nation seeks to bolster its defense capabilities against potential threats.
