The Lithuania Ministry of Defense (MoD) announced in a Tweet today that the country will continue strengthening its air defense capabilities by acquiring additional GROM Man-Portable Air-Defense System (MANPADS) missiles from Poland.
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.
The GROM MANPADS, produced by the Polish defense company Zakłady Mechaniczne Tarnów, is a highly sophisticated piece of military technology, known for its accuracy, versatility, and user-friendly interface. The system, designed to combat low-flying aircraft, helicopters, and UAVs, is portable and can be operated by a single soldier, making it a valuable asset in modern warfare.
