Lithuania has approved the purchase of 100 CV90 MkIV infantry fighting vehicles as part of a joint procurement program with five other NATO countries.

The project предусматривает the signing of the main contract in early 2026, with the first deliveries scheduled for 2028, as part of the effort to modernize the Lithuanian land forces.

In addition to the acquisition, the agreement establishes the localization of component production and vehicle maintenance within Lithuania itself. According to the State Defence Council, the reliability of delivery schedules and the effective implementation of industrial cooperation will be decisive factors for the continuation of the country’s involvement in the multinational program, which also includes Finland, Sweden, Norway, Estonia, and the Netherlands.

Produced by BAE Systems Hägglunds, the CV90 MkIV offers enhanced protection, advanced command-and-control systems, and the ability to integrate national technologies. The adoption of a common platform among NATO allies is expected to increase interoperability, facilitate joint training, and reduce logistical costs, thereby strengthening operational readiness on the alliance’s eastern flank.
